Rating: - zpg
even though this film predates Logans Run and THX 1138 it still is a thoughtful and well done film for it's small budget. No matter what people say it's great to see any film with Oliver Reed in it. An actor who wasn't well known in the states. Oliver makes it worth watching. Now if only somebody would release "THESE ARE THE DAMNED" and "HANNEBAL BROOKS" you would make my day.
Rating: - Interesting Precursor to "Children of Men"
Set in a dystopian future, Z.P.G.

Throughout the smog-filled landscape, desperate people watch ... Read More
Rating:  - Good for it's time.
I had this movie on VHS and was glad to finally see it released on DVD. By the way, once this movie was released on June 3rd I searched and I could not find this film anywhere in stores or online except at Amazon.com.

Rating: - Brilliant, but need it on DVD!
A truly amazing film for lovers of 70's apocolyptic sci-fi. The movie is a must-see for everyone who relishes end-of-the-world, Soylent Green-esque environmental disaster films. Plus, who couldn't love the creepy psychiatrist and the baby-simulacra. One thing, WE NEED THIS ON DVD!
Rating:  - Retro Futurism at it's bleakest
I loved this movie and can't really see what was so awful about it. There are times when movies are given the B rating and people seem to just go along with that. I thought Oliver was fab and that the story was sufficiently Retro Futuristic, A'la 70's style, to totally hook me when I first saw it on late night TV in the early 80's.
I loved the staging and the sets, right down to the funky white (read for sterile) outfits and the sociological fly on the wall insight into the lives of the two ... Read More
