In the Year 2889 is more or less a remake of Roger Corman's The Day the World Ended, which was made in 1956. The characters are different in this though, notably their names.
After a nuclear war, a widowed dad and his daughter whose home is in a valley which is shielded from the radiation from the bombs are joined by a motley collection of people consisting of two brothers, with the older one mutating due to radiation and also a boozy rancher, a crook and his girlfriend. There is also a rather ugly mutant out there who has taken a shining to the dad's daughter but at the end when the rains come, he dies due to the water, which is now clear.
The ending to this is very different to The Day the World Ended, with the dad presumed to be surviving where he dies in the other.
The cast is mostly made up of unknowns with Neil Fletcher as the head of the household, Captain Ramsey.
I quite enjoyed this. Check it out if you get the chance.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
