…Here’s one that might even be cheaper than that thing Greywizard reviewed! Meanwhile, have a double shot of Roddenberrian post-apocalyptica and a bit of unfinished business from way back in January:
Frankenstein Stalks (2000), in which hitherto unsuspected frontiers of badness are explored…
Genesis II (1973), in which Gene Roddenberry steals a march on Glen A. Larson, but gets there too early for his own good…
Planet Earth (1974), in which he tries again with a new cast and a warmed-over script from the “Star Trek” slushpile…
and…
Roar (1981), in which you won’t believe me even after you see it for yourself.

Because Gene Roddenberry was about as subtle as two half-white, half-black men punching one another?

Hmm, I’ve seen Genesis II, but hadn’t come across Planet Earth – I’ll have to dig that out. Thanks!
Roar comes over as one of those Monty Python parodies: “Here we see (roar) that humans and lions (crunch) can live together (argh me leg’s off) in perfect harmony (heeeeelp)”.

While you’re at it, look for Strange New World, too. It’s the third go-round of the premise! That time, they kept John Saxon, but changed the backstory to make him an astronaut coming home centuries late thanks to a malfunction in his hypersleep ship.

Oh my God, Roar. The best part at B-Fest might have been when the next movie started, the MGM logo came up, and the entire audience realized that it could not escape…
