Watch In the Year 2889 For Free

I love this movie so much

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

In a post nuclear Earth, survivors are hold up in a valley and have to protect themselves from mutant human beings, and each other in some cases.An AIP film from the 70s. That might just be enough to tell you what you are going to get.Stock footage.Bad voice over.Horrible direction.Bad acting.And whoever did the sound should be drummed out of the union.Everyone echoes throughout the entire movie!!

A nuclear holocaust kills three billion people on Earth. Managing to survive the aftermath are beautiful Charla Doherty (as Joanna Ramsey) and her father Neil Fletcher (as John Ramsey). The two look exceptionally well, considering the state of the planet. They are quickly joined by handsome Paul Peterson (as Steve Morrow) and his radioactive brother Hugh Feagin (as Granger Morrow). While they worry about supplies, two more people arrive - sexy red-haired Quinn O'Hara (as Jada) and her companion Max Anderson (as Mickey Brown). That night, boozy ranger Billy Thurman (as Tim Henderson) joins the survivors...The group is alive due to Mr. Fletcher's positioning of his home near a combination of cliffs and a lake, which have protected it from nuclear effects. Fresh from his long run on "The Donna Reed Show" (1958-1966), Mr. Peterson is attracted to Ms. Doherty. Her father urges the two younger couples to re-populate the planet. Everyone is threatened when Mr. Feagin begins to recover, revealing himself as part of a horrifying mutant future. A threat from within is posed by Mr. Alexander. Peterson smokes several cigarettes, contrasting his otherwise clean-cut image. "Larry" performs exceptionally well throughout.** In the Year 2889 (1967) Larry Buchanan ~ Paul Peterson, Charla Doherty, Quinn O'Hara, Neil Fletcher

In The Year 2889 was shown in the wee hours of the morning recently on the MGM-HD cable channel. If I hadn't DVR'd it, I wouldn't have seen it. As far as I can tell, the makers didn't even bother to rewrite the script from the original "Day The World Ended". "...2889" is in color while the original "Day..." was in black & white. It is noted that 2889 was made for TV, and I imagine the makers may not have wanted to incur extra "unnecessary" budgetary expenses.The movie plods along slowly and the acting is atrocious. There are no characters that are particularly likable. One redeeming quality is that it is a sure cure if you are having trouble getting to sleep. I'm a big fan of old, preferably bad, sci-fi & horror movies, but this one isn't even good enough to be bad! If you still want to watch it, at least go with the original.

I stumbled across this film on Encore Action the other late night, and was surprised to see that it's a complete remake of the original sf film "The Day the World Ended" (1955). Even the dialogue is almost word-for-word. Ironically, this version though colorful just doesn't grab the viewer. The characters seem one dimensional (the original features two-dimension characters). The cast of this film are virtually cardboard cutouts. The cast from the 1955 version featured bit actors like Touch Connors (better known as Mike Conners in recent years) and Richard Denning and they outshone this inept cast completely. I would recommend skipping this version altogether and looking up the original, preferably the wide screen format as opposed to the 16mm print that seems to be running on AMC these days.
