“let’s hope if they go forward through time that baby doesn’t just explode through her tummy” I was thinking the same thing but the way you worded it killed me 💀
I watched this when I was 18 at the time at a late night screening in Westwood, CA back in the day. It still stuck with me to this very day and I watch it from time to time (no pun intended...lol) whenever it pops up on a movie app.
I remember this movie. As I was in the parking lot, exiting with the crowd, I heard a guy say to his date, “Well, they saved a lot of money on by showing the same scenes over and over again. I’ll give them that.” What I most remembered is that she was encouraged to smoke more, for her health. Because “our” 1989 air was toxic to her.
It wasn't a bad movie, but the original short story it was based on, was much better, and explained a lot more about the setting. The people in the future are slowly rotting alive, and even the beautiful women who play the roles of stewardesses can only keep their appearances by having wigs and prosthetics. And they know that they have only a short time while they can do this, and soon their bodies deteriorate so far that the only job they can do is to be the operators of the computers who are literally wired into the machines. And they volunteer for the very risky jobs in order to be able to feel human at least for a last time. The passengers they rescue are hermetically separated from them, in order to not risk infecting them. and there is no "timequake" in the original story, it's just that they try to rescue as many people as possible before they are so far decayed they can't do it anymore. They then send the rescued so far into the future that nature has recovered, and they all have to start everything anew, many of them will likely die in the first years due to starvation, but there is hope that some can stay alive long enough to fund a new civilization.
@@angrychick9649 "Air Raid" by John Varley. It's a really short (20 minutes?) story, but very well written and atmospheric. You can even easily find it online.
Have not thought about this film in years. I almost saw it when it was in theaters. Such a distinct look, in hindsight, wish I did catch it in theaters.
how to survive a zombie apocalyps step 1: get a weapon Step 2: wear a lot of clothes so if a zombie bites you it will just bite the clothes Step 3: find a cure Edit step 4: have a nice day even tho it's a zombie apocalypse 🍷
I predicted it. But only because of the show travelers. Which would probably be a great show to recap as well! As it was canceled after season 3 but has a defined ending still! And it's insanely engaging
@@OverdramaticAngel I predicted it. But only because of the show travellers. Which would probably be a great show to recap, it was cancelled after season 2 but has a defined ending, it's insanely engaging and I love seeing all the different ideas people can come up with.
One of my favorite movies from the 80s. A lot of ideas from this movie have been copied by recent scifi movies and shows. They should definitely remake this movie ... with a better ending indeed!
I like how the hairstyles in 2089 are just "new wave" looking hairstyles from the 1980's.People are dying off,but they still have time to make hairspray.
Probably 1989, but even then still aged poorly--like by an additional two decades! He should be roughly my age, but he looks way older. Yet another time paradox.
Weird. I never even heard of this movie and I should have, since I am 44 years old and was a kid hanging around at the video rental shop in the 80s all the time. Most movies from that time I at least know superficially from holding the VHS box in my hand and thinking about renting them. And later, in the late 90s and early 2000s, when the internet was young and I was in my late teens and early 20s, I watched those early "Internet Reviewers" (like "That Guy With The Glasses" and others) and stuff like Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax all the time, making fun of cheesy movies from the 60s to 90s. It is really weird that a movie like this would stay totally under my radar for all that time.
....'killing everyone and giving Tarantino some really good ideas'....... now THATS funny, delivery of that line, great. Of the movie, it was strange to see Capt. Frank Furillo not with the 'Hill Street Blues'. As always, great Vid, Thank you.
I saw this in theater and it was painfully boring. I actually left the theater and went to play video games In the lobby a nd returned to the theater and asked my friend what imiseec. She told me they had done a 20 minute flashback and I missed nothing. I later found the very short story this movie weas based on. It needed to s tay a short story.
The plane just crash and old Bill is there working and it's reveal young Bill was on it. The crash look new not at least 30+ years old crash. Does that mean young Bill meet old Bill?
Probably with this movie for me is the simple fact that they mentioned how polluted the air was vs the past and how the travellers had to smoke to get adjusted...uhh how would that work for the people from the past that are taken to the future then? Their lungs would not have any way to adjust to that immediate change...and they would die.
