Brian P This is the 3rd attempt at a successor to Star Trek by Gene Roddenberry. Genesis II with Alex Cord and Planet Earth with John Saxon both playing Dillon Hunt showed a little promise as a new television series but both failed to be picked up. Strange New World is by far the worst of these 3 made for tv pilots. Poor dialog, an uninteresting story and poor sets and special effects help to drag this tv movie down to the cellar. Pass this one up as there are so many other sci-fi series like Andromeda, Continuum, and Stargate that are well worth your time.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member John Saxon's finest work, equals any A-List actor. If this Kung Fu Master only had a huge budget movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review harry r The story was better than Planet Earth but still it could not carry John Saxon's poor acting abilities. If you like andromeda it is good to watch the growth of the concept from Genesis II, Planet Earth, Strange New World. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is more of a reboot than a sequel to Genesis 2. Though John Saxon did return for Strange New World he is not playing Dylan Hunt this time. Also I do not think that Gene Roddenberry was involved in this one. It isn't bad but it is by far my least favorite in the series. I think that it was an awful idea to reboot instead making a direct sequel. I recommend this one for compleshionists only. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The fourth attempt to launch a series based on Gene Roddenberry's Genesis II (1973) and Planet Earth (1974). But Gene wasn't involved in this one, he opted out of this one to try his luck with horror (1975's excellent pilot, Spectre, which remains unavailable on DVD as 14/02/2011). So the network reworked the storyline and had Captain Anthony Vico (John Saxon who must have been getting tired of post-apocalyptic scenarios) and two companions returning from space after nearly 200 years in suspended animation only to blunder into a bizarre civilization of clones and then into an ancient zoo were the decendants of U.S. park rangers fight barbaric poachers. This was actually two episodes of a potential series strung together and released as a pilot in 1975. Gene soon started working on relaunching Star Trek which led to the motion picture in 1979.
