Okay, if you go into this expecting something that even comes close to the magic of Things To Come (1936) - you will hate it! This is basically a mix of two 70s TV shows titled Space 1999 and Doctor Who. In fact, the production values very much look like a TV show rather than a movie.
This is the sort of movie you might wish to return to with repeat viewings as the whole cast (main cast, support cast) have great appeal. There is even a moment where a robot takes a weird liking to a cute female cast member - enough said. I think there is a Luke Skywalker-type young guy here? Jack Palance and Barry Morse are outstanding as always.
The story has several holes in it (as did Space 1999) but the name of the game is to just have fun and don't think about the lack of logic in the thing.
Like many here, I have a huge respect for the Things to Come (1936) movie but if you totally forget that film, and view "Shape" as something totally different (despite the title), you might just like it.
I recently saw it with the benefit of fast forward (as another commenter said, the only way to watch this film) and have to wonder if it's really a parody. Everything about it is so stereotypically and perfectly awful, one wonders if the director was pulling a stunt like Princeton physicist Alan Sokal's hoax "postmodern physics" article in a doofy po-mo "science" journal.
But Carol Lynley looks great, as does the Canadian National Exhibition complex in Toronto lit from behind.
Lo sapevi?
- QuizDespite being credited as such, the film has nothing to do with the HG Wells novel other than the names of a couple of characters.
- BlooperNear the end when the base is collapsing around Omus, what appears to be a girder of some sort hits him on the head; judging by his reaction, it wasn't supposed to happen.
- Citazioni
Dr. John Caball: You spoke to us of a new technology, of peace, not war.
Omus: Don't you understand? Once you accept me as ruler, there will be no acts of aggression, only peace. Under my rule, the people will want for nothing.
Dr. John Caball: Except, freedom! Well, the Moon Colony will never accept a dictator. That's one thing we've learned at least from the history of the planet Earth.
Omus: You insult me, Doctor.
Omus: You are the one who inspired me, taught me to place science above all else.
Dr. John Caball: But not above humanity! If I didn't teach you that, then I failed you miserably. Omus, give up; give up this insane plan of yours.
Omus: But I am Omus! Emperor of Delta Three! I don't want to hear any more. I don't think I even know you; you're some sentimental old fool who doesn't understand anything. I, I am the world of the future, you're back in some dark past. People are no longer necessary. Even I someday may no longer be necessary. And you, poor Dr. Caball are certainly no longer necessary.
Dr. John Caball: Omus, you're a sick man. Let me help you.
Omus: No, Doctor. Let me help you. Let me give you your last lesson on the power of science.
- Curiosità sui crediti[Prologue] The time is the tomorrow after tomorrow. Earth has been polluted and devastated by the great robot wars and is all but deserted. Man has moved onto the moon, colonised its surface and erected vast cities in what was once wasteland. Ranging further out into deep space he has embarked on an even greater era of adventure and discovery. But the survival of mankind is dependent on a continuing supply of the miracle drug RADIC-Q-2.....And RADIC-Q-2 is produced only on the distant planet DELTA THREE.
