I would love to see the “lost” footage mentioned in this article. Would make a great expanded mini series for some streamer. I know after this flopped that a four hour version ended up in syndicated TV, but this article mentions there’s like seven hours of cut scenes!
The old movie was a fever dream crossed with an acid trip.
Dunno about the new one being generic sci-fi. I mean, I think you’re wrong but i wouldn’t be able to guess how you formed that opinion so I can’t begin to argue it.
It feels like the year 2200 not the year 10000. I know that’s strange to say. Everything is familiar, it could be another movie. When I watch it, my mind doesnt start to wonder about the back stories of people, buildings,… I don’t have to use my brain, it’s all there.
