LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

StuOz The world as we know it has come to an end and two duds, a young woman and a talking chimp are in a fancy space age bus attempting to re- start the human race.I watched all 15 episodes as a child in the 1970s and I re-watched all 15 episodes in 2014 (on YouTube). Made by the makers of Shazam! (1974), I still like this show after all these years.I almost view Ark II as a sister show to Shazam! as both shows deal with a large vehicle, with two or three people inside, driving around helping people in need. However, Shazam! is set in the 1970s and Ark II is set in earth's distant future.If you are a fan of the Planet Of The Apes TV series (1974), Star Trek (1966) and Lost In Space (1965) you will get a blast out of Ark II as the series has cross overs to those shows.Both Shazam! and Ark II also have very good music scores playing over the shows that are so good you end up playing the scores in your head days after watching the episodes.It is too bad Ark II has only 15 short 23 minute episodes as after watching the whole series back to back...the whole thing sort of comes and goes too fast.Also, during the whole 15 episodes we never find out anything about the three leads as they never make much small talk, they never talk much about earth's past, they never fall in love, they just follow the storyline of the scripts and never make personal comments. This is not a bad thing as many shows these days have too much characterization but this does give Ark II an empty feeling after watching the whole series.Ark II might not be perfect and the opening episode with Jonathan Harris is rather poor and empty, but the series has some treasures. My favourite episode is called - The Tank - which involves a lad driving around the countryside in a not so deadly tank.

jdhoffman29 but I can't remember the name of it. Anybody remember a similar show like Ark II but with a space theme? Only thing I clearly remember is one of the kids on the show, who I *think* was an alien, was able to see anything colored red thru walls. If anybody knows what the hell i'm talking about, I'd sure like to know the name. I bought Ark II when i saw it in the store thinking this was it but it's not although I do remember this Ark show dimly ( I was 5 when this came out). I know there were tons of these mid warping shows back then but hopefully somebody can jog my memory on this one. Thanks in advance for your help!Jeff

David Daniel Ball I saw this series from the age of 8 to nearly eleven years of age. I hated the tortured morality of the dialogue, but loved the 'Logan's Run' aspects. I left the US before the end of the run, and missed the show on arriving in Australia, as it never screened here. As kid shows go, it didn't have the music of 'Jonny Sokko' or the adventure, dialogue and crisp story lines of the original 'Ultraman.'The poor production values of the time, poor dialogue, poor action and little adventure was more than made up for by the need to opine for a better world, with better people. It sort of made me want to be a better person.

Chowdah I loved this show when I was a kid. Basically the premise was a group of scientists were driving around in the land rover vehicle from "Damnation Alley"(repainted white). They fended off bad guys and post apocalyptic disasters while helping people rebuild after a nuclear holocaust (at least I think it was nuclear).This show had to have been the inspiration for the Role Playing Game "The Morrow Project", which basically used the same premise.Filmation Trivia: This was one of many live action Saturday Morning TV shows put out by Filmation in the late 70s. Filmation made a name for itself by making both filmed and animated kid shows. Some of their more famous filmed shows included: Captain Marvel, Isis, Run Joe Run, Space Academy (whose spiffy Star Trek the Motion Picture like costumes were recycled from Ark II) and its spinoff, Jason of Star Command. Filmation is probably most famous for their He-Man & the Masters of the Universe cartoon from the 80s.
