Mini-series about a future brave new world.
I seem to remember watching this as a kid and being quiet impressed by it, however a Youtube viewing 40 years later was a bit of a struggle, in fact I could not get past the first 35 minutes.
No I have no issue with the retro sets and effects, it was more a problem with it being too slow and, in the first 35 minutes at least, I could not make out if the actors were taking it all seriously (for example the part where the future people are watching footage of old earth). I could almost image them all bursting out into laughter the moment the director yelled "cut!".
The Youtube print was very poor and faded which went against the viewing experience.
If I ever I find it remastered on DVD I might be more willing to stay with it right to the end. Basically, at this point atleast, I can't call it good but I can't call it bad. However, from what I saw it is better than a lot of the science fiction that has come out in the last 20 years.
