Product Description
"My name is Dylan Hunt. My story begins the day on which I died." Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, brings fans another enthralling tale of the future. Set in a time between now and the era of the starship Enterprise, Genesis II follows Hunt (Alex Cord), who awakes after 154 years of suspended animation into a post-apocalyptic world that's torn between the peace-loving citizens of Pax and the militaristic, mutant Tyranians. Both want Hunt to join their cause. But the Tyranians have two cruel weapons to persuade Hunt: a device of torture called a stim. And an alluring mutant (Mariette Hartley) with two navels...and one ice-cold heart.

| 38 of 39 people found the following review helpful  A Science Fiction Classic!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Genesis II (DVD) Filled with a cast of well-known actors from the 1970s, Genesis II is Gene Roddenberry's vision of what life on Earth might have become after a nuclear war. The made-for-TV film fits nicely with Roddenberry's extended arc of "futuristic" stories that include the Star Trek series.Alex Cord brought the character of Dylan Hunt to life and set him so strongly in our imagination that other actors were able to reprise the role in Planet Earth and Brave New World with ease. These two films are the sequels following Genesis II. Mariette Hartley was exquisite as Lira-a and looked absolutely seductive--even with two navels. The action is smootly paced and the story well-crafted. Dylan Hunt participates in an experiment to test the early development of suspended animation, and is trapped in the pressure chamber when an earthquake is unexpectedly triggered. He wakes 154 years later, when people from PAX discover and revive him. Hunt is faced with that long gap in...

They were both a manufactured on demand product using DVD-R recordable media. Warner made some effort with DVD disk art, and cover art, they could have picked a little better picture for the cover however for Genesis II. I am glad to finally have a copy of these made for TV movies, that are DVD quality. There were a few specks on the picture, but not enough to take away from the movie. I only gave it a 4 but they are probably closer to 4.5, just because I think they could have done everything just a little better. Hopefully they will release the 3rd movie Strange New Earth (1975) P.S. If you aren't into the older movies, you probably won't like them. These are 70's made for TV movies, so the special effects are somewhat lacking by today's standards...

Though the TV Special effects are tame by today's standards, the plot was pretty cool. I liked ALex Cord's character, and all the supporting characters especially Percy Rodriguez, and Ted Cassiday's.Think it was originally planned that this would take off as a series but it did not pan out. Though there were some sequel's with John Saxon taking over the "Dylan Hunt" character, this was by far the best. |
