Genesis II

In the year 2133, a historian named Dylan is cryogenically frozen and awakens in a future society that has reverted to a primitive, tribal existence after a nuclear holocaust centuries earlier. He finds himself in a world populated by mutated beings and ruled by a tyrant named Lyra. Dylan must navigate this dangerous new world and try to prevent the oppressive forces from taking control.

Genesis II was a pilot for a potential television series that was ultimately not picked up. While it featured some ambitious ideas for its time, its production values and storyline were considered somewhat dated even upon release. Critical reception was mixed, with some acknowledging its sci-fi potential while others found it to be a rather conventional made-for-television movie.

• Praised for its speculative future society concept.
• Criticized for its somewhat predictable plot and dated special effects.
• Seen as an interesting, albeit flawed, attempt at a post-apocalyptic narrative for television.
