Thanks to the cable television movie service provided by the Encore group, including the Action Channel and The Western Channel, those of us who subscribe to the Behemoth Comcast and who truly cannot sleep at night ... were treated to multiple showings of In the Year 2889, recently. Treated is a good word.
Because after seeing this incredible bit of cinematic flotsam and jetsam, I felt like I needed 'treatment.'
There must be a name in science for the psychological disorder which causes a normal person to arise in the middle of the night and watch bad Science Fiction on cable !! Truly, if I didn't need 'treatment' for it before watching "2889," I sure needed it afterwords.
At least the colors in the film as shown were true. Everything else, absolutely everything else about the movie was simply ABOMINABLE.
Well, Charla has a very fine female form, which is semi-revealed for about twenty seconds in an otherwise meaningless swimming pool scene.
This has all the virtues of a movie made by people who were bored one week-end and found a camera and a lot of extra film which needed exposing, and lowered themselves to the task.
Apparently the beaches and the liquor stores were all closed that week-end, for nothing else accounts for the decision somebody made to say, "ACTION," and beginning shooting film. There is no way to comment on the director's skills for there doesn't seem to be any direction in evidence. Once upon a time I thought the worst movie ever made was something done by Andy Warhol or one of his confederates, where they just rolled film on the outside of a skyscraper, slowly panning up the building for hour after hour.
By contrast to "2889", watching that movie was truly exciting.
Honest. I wouldn't kid you about something this serious.
