I just love watching silly movies like this. It is set in the future but is in the past in two ways. Firstly, as they are living a very basic life and when they do discover newer technology, it's 1980's technology. I wonder how these people were born since there is no interaction between males and females. I like the costumes and the silly expressions like "going cold" if someone is dying. I don't quite know where the ape man fits into all of this but I guess he is just comic relief (As if a movie like this needs any). I didn't see how they got the food and water they needed. They didn't live in a very fertile land area. I noticed that the leader of the men could read, again I wonder how he learned to do that. There are so many questions but it was all good fun.

I watched this movie when it came on TV this evening and being a sucker for B TV movies, I thought the concept was very interesting. The characters had a depth not usually found in this type of movie and the acting was above average. It was well paced and kept the story moving along. I thought the script was excellent with good subtle snippets of information for the viewer to absorb. Perhaps it was a little cheesy in places but this is one of the attractions of this type of movie. I actually thought it could make an interesting TV series. Well worth a rental if anyone gets the chance. Looking by the number of voters and the lack of reviews here on IMDb, it looks like very few have seen it, which is a shame.

I have just recently stumbled across this movie on a cable TV channel here in Thailand. As I have always been interested in the Beatles, I was curious to see how John Lennon's early life panned out. I have to say I really enjoyed the film. The performances of most of the cast were excellent. Notably, Phillip McQuillan as John, but especially Jamie Glover as Brian Epstein. I thought his portrayal of a man battling his career and sexual orientation in those times was outstanding. It was not a sycophantic opinion of John Lennon. It showed him as a lovable rogue and many times just as a rogue. The movie moved along at a brisk pace, which kept the interest high. For me it was a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon well spent.
