Sure am glad we get to see the biggest immediate threat let off the hook again and again. Sure ramps up the, uh. Tension. I guess. Not at all frustrating.

Grange is very representative of the film. Radioactive, and wandering aimlessly.

If pointing the Geiger counter at Granger measures 740 Roentgens, doesn’t that mean he is *emitting* 740 R, not that he was *exposed to* 740 R? Like perhaps he is contaminated with radioactive dust measuring 740 R?

It's been three weeks and they're out of fresh water. So he had water for two people for… a few months, at the outside?

I guess since there's a source nearby you don't need that much, but hm

#monsterdon I mean, I realize that they think the wind is in their favor or whatever.

But in the event of nuclear war, I would still recommend at least closing the windows, and not going outside for long romantic strolls.

is it good when a plot abruptly jumps 3 weeks into the future because the writers can't really think of any way to move the story along naturally

⁉️ APOCALYPTIC TRIVIA 🌏πŸ”₯

What's in a name?
All promotional materials for tonight's feature, including the All-Important TV Guide, use the title "Year 2889." But, as you saw, the onscreen credits are actually "In the Year 2889."

Similar attention to detail was applied to every facet of our film.

I award 0 out of 5 brilliantly lit night time swimming pools.

The most you can say for it is that some stuff happened in it. The most you can say for the characters is that some of them sometimes approached being almost likeable. The monster threat was rather unthreatening.

What!? And it's over? Ha!

And the missing foley/sound-effects didn't even get the pivotal gunshots that wrapped up the movie! Ha ha.

There's probably an Internet Libertarian out there who has a blog that puts "In the Year 2889" on an online list of movies with important political themes.

If I was watching this movie in a theatre I would legitimately think the incredibly quiet score is sound from some movie in another movie hall bleeding through.

that zoom-out has me appreciating that this movie does not have unmotivated zooming sickness, at least.

1969 is right on the border there and the shakycam we've been "treated" to suggests the operation of the camera is not exactly by a professional, but uh

It's Something

#monsterdon Wild, in some of the prints, these scenes are completely blue-gel-for-night.

So I had a whole joke prepared "I wonder what my L and M cones on my retinas are doing right now, I know the S cones are getting buttered" but maybe 1/3 of y'all would even know what I meant due to the lack of blue-vision :/

If her skin came off, and she started eating people, that would be great.

I think I'm only picking up on 75% of the eugenics subtext of this movie, and am possibly missing some side story where the low-born poor people lack virtue and so will doom their social betters or something.

okay I guess the implication here is that he's *fabricating* a key by whittling

despite the key he held up clearly being metallic

whatever.

the score being mixed so low this entire time is cracking me up

budget on this thing was probably like $15 and free sandwiches.
