One of my favorite 70's scifi films, also remember watching the short lived series as a kid.

It's a favorite of mine too - fun, fun film and Jenny Agutter (grrr!). The final scene was filmed at the water garden in Fort Worth and I visited that place many a time when I lived in Dallas.

70's sci/fi does have a vibe of its own. Probably my favorite period for sci/fi films - even more than the 50's.

I remember liking it. Can't remember much, though. Saw it on TBS in the 80's.

I watched it yesterday. I didn't care for it, really. It was a sci-fi dystopian future film, but nothing seemed to stand out about it. Was there any unique technology? Not really. The stakes never seemed too high, since they could easily outrun their sandman pursuers, who were lousy shots most of the time. And don't get me started about that cheese-grater / C3PO in the ice cave. How threatening was that? I was hoping Michael York would've just tipped him over. Then, he'd be fucked.

I also watched "The Belko Experiment" the other day, in which they had bombs implanted in the back of people's heads. Why didn't they put bombs in their runners if they wanted to keep them all compliant?

Subpar 70s sci-fi. While they were walking on the beach, I was hoping to see that damn fallen statue of liberty. Or at least the Ape Lincoln monument. I've still got apes on the brain, if you can't tell. Nothing compares to a good ape-ocalypse.

I first saw ut about three years ago. It was...poor. I was amused that Box sounded just like Donna's patient from an episode of Sanford & Son, and one of Cliff's professors from The Cosby Show because it was Roscoe Lee Brown.

I like the concern York shows when the computer turns his life clock redto go undercover, robbing him of a couple years, and he fearfully asks if they will be restored.

I once read a review that said it seems like Ustinov is acting in a completely different movie, doing his own thing. Which is exactly how I felt, but at the same time, his performance is very amusing in a wtf sort of way.

Best thing about the movie is of course Jenny Agutter.

I liked it. It's got some funny, memorable scenes.

Also really makes you appreciate how much an advance Star Wars was. Before Star Wars, this was what state of the art special effects looked like.

the premise is arguably silly, but i think it's terrific, and if remakes weren't in the state they are it would be prime for a Cyberpunk Action rearrangement. i love Jenny Agutter, of course.
