I recently talked about Things to Come<\/a><\/span>, a classic 1930s sci-fi film based on the H.G. Wells novel. It was so good that I then sought out The Shape of Things to Come<\/span><\/a>, the 1970s sci-fi film that’s not so classic and not so obviously based on the H.G. Wells novel. <\/p>\n

Maybe it’s supposed to be a sequel? However they justified giving it the name they did, it looks like what it is: a cheap attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Star Wars.<\/p>\n

Like most Star Wars rip-offs, this movie fails to achieve the immersive production design that made Star Wars so awesome. But there’s some charm to The Shape of Things to Come<\/span>, despite the obvious low budget (they have a "land-transporter" that is simply a jeep). <\/p>\n

And by charm, I am mainly referring to the robots.<\/p>\n

This robot is cruising with attitude.
\n<\/p>\n

This robot has Jack Palance’s back.
\n<\/p>\n

These robots are walking through a field of cattails. Or space cattails or something.
\n<\/p>\n

These robots are about to kick some hippie ass.
\n<\/p>\n

And this robot is putting the moves on a hottie.
\n<\/p>\n

So yes, nowhere will you find better role-models than robots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
