FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- In the year 2889, 1967. A small family has a special rural home and provisions to survive after a nuclear war. After a nuclear war incident the home and family are faced with coping with new people and problems that threaten their survival.*Special Stars- Paul Peterson.*Theme- Teamwork and planning can overcome problems.*Trivia/location/goofs- Remake of a previous good film, 'The Day the World Ended'.*Emotion- I did not enjoy this film after seeing it's original one, 'The Day the World Ended'. The roles and casting were updated from the original film shot in the early 50's to late 60's casting; the stripper became a dancer, the hood became the dancer's manager, the prospector became a local cattleman and so on. As such, the character's were less interesting and therefore boring.*Based On- A Jules Verne short story of the same title.

wbswetnam If the end of the world is as dull as this movie, people will wish that they'll be at ground zero when the missiles drop instead of suffering through the fate of these actors in the making of this movie. The movie centers around a retired Navy man, his pretty twenty-something year old daughter, and a handful of unexpected house guests. They are the human survivors of a nuclear holocaust, only because the lucky location of their home somehow protects them from the nuclear fallout. However, they are menaced by mutants who drunkenly stagger around in the woods, munching on local game animals. When the game animals run out, the survivors suspect that they're next on the menu for the mutants.There's a good deal of tension and bickering among the survivors. The "good" characters are the retired Navy man (John), his daughter (Joanna), and a respectable drop-in guest named Steve. The "bad" characters are Steve's somewhat irradiated brother, an alcoholic neighbor named Tim (who's never far from his jug of moonshine), a stripper (!) and her lecherous manager/boyfriend who takes a liking to Joanna. Other cast include the monster, which looks like a guy wearing a cheap Halloween mask and a tattered business suit.Despite the movie title, don't expect anything at all to look futuristic. Apparently all manner of technological progress and fashion stand still for 922 years in this movie. The hair styles and clothes are very much mid-sixties, the house looks like a nice suburban home from the sixties, and the guns are regular pistols like what you'd expect to see from mid 20th century, not late 29th century.The eye candy of this movie is the innocent character of Joanna, played by pretty actress Charla Doherty. Tragically, Charla Doherty died of complications from alcoholism in 1988 at the age of 41. RIP

BrockoBomma In The Year 2889 was shown in the wee hours of the morning recently on the MGM-HD cable channel. If I hadn't DVR'd it, I wouldn't have seen it. As far as I can tell, the makers didn't even bother to rewrite the script from the original "Day The World Ended". "...2889" is in color while the original "Day..." was in black & white. It is noted that 2889 was made for TV, and I imagine the makers may not have wanted to incur extra "unnecessary" budgetary expenses.The movie plods along slowly and the acting is atrocious. There are no characters that are particularly likable. One redeeming quality is that it is a sure cure if you are having trouble getting to sleep. I'm a big fan of old, preferably bad, sci-fi & horror movies, but this one isn't even good enough to be bad! If you still want to watch it, at least go with the original.

Michael_Elliott In the Year 2889 (1967) * 1/2 (out of 4)In the late 1960s AIP began remaking their films for television and this production by the one and only Buchanan is a reworking of Roger Corman's THE DAY THE WORLD ENDED. As in the previous film, an atomic bomb goes off and leaves only a few survivors in a small town. The people are sitting around worried about acid rain but the real threat is an ugly monster walking around (and not really doing anything). The title actually has nothing to do with the film but I've read AIP had a copyright on it so they decided to just throw it on this film, which pretty much tells you all you need to know about this sucker. I'm not the biggest fan of the original Corman movie but it's certainly a lot better than this thing but at the same time this is certainly better than your typical Buchanan movie. That's not really saying much considering he's made some really horrible stuff but the biggest disappointment here is the confusion of not using the monster. The monster looks incredibly silly and it's clear he's just an actor wearing a mask but the only time we see him he's just walking around in the woods or watching a couple of the women swim. There really aren't any attacks, any suspense or anything else that you'd expect in a horror film. The monster is so rarely seen up until the end you'll really be scratching your head trying to figure out what they were thinking. The film is very dialogue heavy and none of it is overly good, although the majority of it is just carried over from the Corman flick. Performances are pretty bad as you'd expect but you've gotta love the father who is constantly preaching to everyone and then tries to pimp off his daughter and in another scene he wants to kill people yet he always goes back to talking about how good he is. Director Buchanan has gained a pretty big following over the years by bad movie lovers so I'm sure those folks will want to check this out but others should avoid at all costs.
