CINEMA CYCLE
(Cardio Workout And Reviewing Movies At The Same Time)
DATE REVIEWED: 12/27/2017
TITLE: Star Trek: The Deadly Years
FORMAT: Laserdisc
TIME RIDDEN / FILM LENGTH: 50 minutes
DISTANCE RIDDEN WHILE VIEWING: 10.3 miles
TOTAL CINEMA MILES LOGGED: 8380.7 miles
CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: Understanding geriatrics and how the individual deals with aging.
PROS AND CONS: The more I watch these older, uncut masters of the original series, the more this starts to become like Shakespeare. While the concept was really cutting edge, the production value starts to show its age.
This really isn't science fiction anymore. Almost everything they do in here with the exception of warp drive and the transporter have come to pass and in some ways surpass the shows vision of a Utopian future.
Also, it appears that the writers really bailed on the ending to the episode. The idea that a magic serum could reverse 40 years of aging in four minutes. Fail.
This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.
Clicking on the title will take you to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) entry for this film.
This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle. A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
