The Shape Of Things To Come

An unambitious and poorly made remake of the 1936 sci-fi classic THINGS TO COME, which was itself a popular and successful rendition of the H.G. Wells novel. Even with the benefit of technological advances in special effects, this modern version is nowhere near as convincing as its predecessor. The acting and script also leave much to be desired. Palance is the evil menace who vies to become dictator of the moon. He plans to take over the planet which produces an antiradiation drug, thus rendering helpless the victims of nuclear holocaust on earth. His efforts are thwarted by the tactics of Lynely.
