Such a hilariously blatant ripoff. I thought I was nuts when I saw Chris Plummer. But sure enough, it was him.
He must’ve either been really drunk or really needed money badly to do that movie.
On a slight hijack, was the TV miniseries of Day of The Triffids any good? Or should I stick with the movie?
Doppelganger, a/k/a Journey to the Far Side of the Sun.
It’s kinda slow and looks cheap by today’s standards, but overall, not too shabby IMO
You didn’t want to hear about Star Trek, but I would like to point out that Star Trek II had some of the more graphic violence of the Star Trek movies, and all of it had to be done with old school special effects, including a crewman on the Enterprise screaming because he’s on fire. 
I’ve read Lord of the Flies, thank you, and I think it’s a tremendous stretch to include it as science fiction. I haven’t read Fail Safe, but if it’s no more science fiction than Lord of the Flies, I’d say it’s a stretch too.
Fantasy is not the same as science fiction. There’s a lot of overlap, but The Birds is about as much science fiction as is Jaws.
It’s more bad than fun, as I remember it, although I still enjoyed it more than Battle Beyond the Stars.
I saw a little bit of it, I reminded myself of what it was like on Youtube and my goodness. Can Amanda Donohue look any more like the cat that got the very last drop of cream on the planet? 
Completely different beasts really, I like them both for different reasons.
The miniseries would probably compare favourably with something like Jericho today.
