Watching\u00a0In the Year 2889<\/a>\u00a0<\/b><\/i>(1967), we agreed that this movie must certainly be considered a candidate for Mystery Science Theater 3000<\/strong><\/em><\/a>: awful story, poor acting, uninspired makeup, ridiculous premise, obtuse title. And, for MST3K, a target rich environment.<\/p>\n

General premise: the atomic bomb have come raining down on mankind.<\/p>\n

Specific \u00a0premise: a man has built his home so he and his daughter can survive this. Wait, what? Why? Why would you want to survive?<\/p>\n

Plot: As the survivors puzzle over a couple of survivors who should be dead, the squabbling begins and survivors (and one unsuspecting rabbit) start getting picked off.<\/p>\n

Acting: not wooden, but restrained without that sudden release that restrained acting can enable. Even the would-be rapist only inspires some faint inclination to shun him, without the actual need to strangle him.<\/p>\n

And, despite the title, they seem to be discussing World War II!<\/p>\n

But perhaps best is the father, in his sixties, a retired Navy Captain, who keeps meeting refugees at his front door with a gun and a barked “Get out! There’s no room for you here!”, only to have his twenty-ish daughter reprimand him and take the refugees to yet another bedroom in their spacious abode, while the father walks grumbling off. Juxtaposing that with a yet later “I’m in charge” speech was priceless.<\/p>\n

But, really, I would only recommend seeing this under the guidance of Joel Hodgson<\/a>. Or with beer, and lots of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
