Tonight's Stinker: The Shape of Things to Come (1979)

Tonight's Stinker The Shape of Things to Come (1979) https://youtu.be/ORN5aT9Lxho?si=aLPZ6k6-OzLIN1UP Pretty forgettable, as I've already forgotten most of it.... So there's an opening crawl about how Earth was abandoned after WW3, & the universe is dependent on an anti-radiation drug that's only found one place in the universe.... In a capital city on the moon, traffic controllers are watching a cargo ship that's ignoring attempts to contact while it's set on a crash course.... Meanwhile, a scientist & a politician are bickering over the need for a defense ship.... Everyone is safely evacuated from the dome as the cargo ship crashes into it.... The dome is immediately rebuilt by planes spraying chemtrails, while inspectors find a robot in the wreckage of the ship.... They decide to rebuild the robot & reprogram it to be friendly.... Then Jack Palance calls up & demands surrender of the universe, so the scientist, his son & his girlfriend decide to steal the defense ship & head for the planet he's on.... This is the movie I thought I was going to watch when I sat through that porno a few months ago, and somehow, less memorable.... Gets pretty slow & plodding.... Tries to insert "HG Wells" in the title, & even swipes the name JOHN CABAL, even though it has no relation to the Wells novel..... Feels like it was supposed to be a TV movie or an unsold pilot.....
