The Shape of Things to Come 1979  PG, 95 min.
Genre: Sci-Fi
Director: George McCowan
Cast: Jack Palance, Carol Lynley, John Ireland, Barry Morse, Nicholas Campbell, Anne-Marie Martin, Greg Swanson, Mark Parr, William Hutt, Ardon Bess
This remake of the 1936 film, "Things to Come," lacks the quality of the original. Based on H.G. Wells' book, the storyline revolves around the aftermath of a nuclear war as survivors battle inhabitants of the Moon. Probably not even interesting to sci-fi lovers.
