Well, what can one say about Firebird 2015 AD? Viewed as science fiction, it is wholly inadequate. Other than the early establishing shots of shuttered gas stations ('closed by order of the President'), there is nothing remotely futuristic or fantastic about the film. Viewed as a fast car movie, it's hardly any better--the driving scenes are very old fashioned and certainly offer next to nothing in automotive thrills. Which leaves us with the cast to consider: poor old Darren McGavin gives it his best shot, but Doug McClure doesn't even bother to phone in his performance--he submits it by Morse code. Add in the awful theme song and bad incidental music, and what you have is a boring piece of cinematic junk that offers next to no entertainment value and is insufficiently cheesy for fans of Le Bad Cinema. Absolutely, positively not worth the 90 minutes of your life it will cost you.
