One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: Directed by John Llewellyn Moxey; Produced by Gene Roddenberry, for Warner Brothers TV, broadcast by CBS-TV. Screenplay by Gene Roddenberry; Photography by Gerald Perry Finnerman; Edited by George Watters; Music by Harry Sukman; Makeup by Tom Burman. Starring: Alex Cord, Mariette Hartley, Ted Cassidy, Percy Rodrigues, Harvey Jason, Titos Vandis, Lynn Marta, Majel Barrett and Leon Askin.
Boring, stupid telefilm pilot in which Gene rips off the sillier and more irritating elements which did in his "Star Trek". Listless crud "actor" Cord is transported to a future existence via suspended animation, and the tired premise pits him with superior technological knowledge against fetishistic communities lapsed into primitive cultural patterns and barbarism.
