Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ever since I read about Gene Roddenberry's attempt to have Genesis II made into a TV show, I was curious about the plot of the show. I thought the film was okay. And I admit I was curious later on, when I read in the Internet Motion picture Data Base (IMDB), that he even wrote a few series episodes to be filmed after the pilot -- assuming the show would be accepted, but it wasn't. I was curious about some of the characters in the show, and I LOVED that high speed subway in the show. I also wish the DVD contained a filmed interview of Gene Roddenberry, showing his concept of Genesis II. In one of the Star Trek 1970's convention books, which was written and published after the series ended, I saw a photo of Gene pointing at the high speed subway and apparently speaking about the story of Genesis II. Instead the DVD only had the story of Genesis II; nothing else. The story was nice, but I can see why the pilot didn't sell. I enjoyed the show, and I like Gene Roddenberry's ideas of the future, but if I had been in the test audience I probably would not have recommended it to be made into a series either.

I remember seeing most of this as a young boy. Found the title from Star Trek history reading and some internet searching. Love to have this in my collection, now I need the other two Gene Roddenberry 70s sci-fi pilots(Planer Earth and The Questar Tapes)

Yes 70's Sci-Fi Cheese , i ;love it and basically because it harkens to a much simpler formula - soap opera sci-fi ! Check out all these titles as a thread runs through them.

Exactly what I ordered with super fast shipping. Great communication, I was kept up to date on shipping, hope to do business with Best Buy again.

This is the future, maybe in 100 years from now.... the special effects at the time were great. I wished they could have made this into a series. like planet earth and strange new world at the time. This movie of the weekend was good back in the 1970s, but today it would not fly.
