Roger Corman's "Day the World Ended (1955)" - watch it instead. In the Year 2889 (1967) is a dull made for TV remake of Corman's sci-fi horror classic. Really, why watch this dull film when you can see the original which is a thousand times better?!! This film is almost word for word, scene by scene Corman's film.The only reason why to watch this film is for Paul Peterson (of "The Donna Reed Show" and the song "My Dad") - that's it! And it's a pretty lame reason to watch this movie. I guess another reason to watch this film is to see just how awful some remakes are.The mutated monster in Corman's film might be a little comical looking but still fun to watch. This remake film version's monster looks, well, dumb and simply goofy.3/10

In a post nuclear Earth, survivors are hold up in a valley and have to protect themselves from mutant human beings, and each other in some cases.An AIP film from the 70s. That might just be enough to tell you what you are going to get.Stock footage.Bad voice over.Horrible direction.Bad acting.And whoever did the sound should be drummed out of the union.Everyone echoes throughout the entire movie!!

This is an amusing movie if only because it is so bad. The Geiger counter sound effect is just crinkling paper. The night time shots are done with a slight blue filter, but you can still see plain daylight. Just to make sure you don't get confused, though, a very loud soundtrack of crickets is played. The most interesting part of the movie is the luger with the 30-round clip. The understanding of radioactivity is laughable. The monster is wonderfully bad. I also enjoyed how people who are living in the aftermath of world destruction seem to be obsessed with the swimming pool and bikinis. But what the heck, break out the popcorn, your favorite intoxicating beverage, and enjoy the badness of this movie!

If the end of the world is as dull as this movie, people will wish that they'll be at ground zero when the missiles drop instead of suffering through the fate of these actors in the making of this movie. The movie centers around a retired Navy man, his pretty twenty-something year old daughter, and a handful of unexpected house guests. They are the human survivors of a nuclear holocaust, only because the lucky location of their home somehow protects them from the nuclear fallout. However, they are menaced by mutants who drunkenly stagger around in the woods, munching on local game animals. When the game animals run out, the survivors suspect that they're next on the menu for the mutants.There's a good deal of tension and bickering among the survivors. The "good" characters are the retired Navy man (John), his daughter (Joanna), and a respectable drop-in guest named Steve. The "bad" characters are Steve's somewhat irradiated brother, an alcoholic neighbor named Tim (who's never far from his jug of moonshine), a stripper (!) and her lecherous manager/boyfriend who takes a liking to Joanna. Other cast include the monster, which looks like a guy wearing a cheap Halloween mask and a tattered business suit.Despite the movie title, don't expect anything at all to look futuristic. Apparently all manner of technological progress and fashion stand still for 922 years in this movie. The hair styles and clothes are very much mid-sixties, the house looks like a nice suburban home from the sixties, and the guns are regular pistols like what you'd expect to see from mid 20th century, not late 29th century.The eye candy of this movie is the innocent character of Joanna, played by pretty actress Charla Doherty. Tragically, Charla Doherty died of complications from alcoholism in 1988 at the age of 41. RIP
