    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film was released theatrically in 1973 for only a limited time, as the distributor - Cinemation - went bankrupt during the first week the film was released. Only in 1988 did the film resurface on video, through MPI Home Video. Only this version has Peter Fonda's opening remarks about the environment. Subsequent DVD releases do not include this.
    • Goofs
      When Karen returns to the camp to find everyone dead, in the establishing shot, her face is caked with dirt, but in subsequent close-ups, and all other shots, her face is clean.
    • Quotes

      Future Girl: Are you sure that was one of them?

      Future Woman: Of course it was.

      Future Girl: What happens when we run out?

      Future Woman: We just put another one in. We won't need another for quite aways.

      Future Girl: I didn't mean that. I meant what if we run out of all of them or we can't even find any?

      Future Man: They'll figure out another way for us.

      Future Woman: We can use something else.

      Future Girl: But what if that's too hard or expensive and what if they decide they can't change? We'll use each other then, won't we?

    Very Well Written
    The film is unusually well written, one of the more thoughtful sci fi films. Esp if you get frustrated by bloated excuses for FX and empty attempts to be "gritty."

    The problem obviously is, virtually everything else about the film. Poor direction, no budget, unknown actors who are a mix of needing a chance to show what they can do, and should never act again.

    You find yourself constantly wishing this were remade with a better director with a budget. But it's still interesting enough that I watched to the very end, wanting to see what happens.
