Seriously, is there a topic better for paging Dr Sandman than post-apocalyptic future?
This movie even works if you’re a chauvinist, since it’s is basically about a world where women are dominant and men are enslaved – what self-respecting chauvinistic idiot wouldn’t fall asleep during a plot like that?
All jokes aside, this classic’s creator, Gene Roddenberry, deserves all the credit he didn’t get.
After all, he’s been putting people to sleep since 1974. Well, 1773 if you count the prequel. Sleep tight everyone, and let’s get that new genre rolling, shall we?
