One of a trio of movies Gene Roddenberry hoped would launch a new series. Dink Drug. heh
[More:]
I would have forgotten this movie but for the fact I was in grade 6 and for the next few weeks the girls called all us boys Dinks.
Parts of all three movies made it into storylines for the first season of Next Generation, and one story proposal for the series eventually became Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Roddenberry was pissed/offended that Genesis II was dropped by CBS in favor of the Planet of the Apes series. All I remember was that PotA was the coolest thing I saw until Star Wars ....

There were a raft of series like this in the '70s: technological holdovers wandering the post-[your catastropher here] Earth discovering a new microsociety/village/whatever each week. Really it's just Star Trek on wheels. Or tank treads. Or a hovercraft air cushion. Or through a secret global pneumatic tube.

There's no reason for me to remember these movies and shows and yet i do.
In fact, i'd like to see this one again, preferably while high.
or you could just get me high.
It would really help.

Either way, i think i wanna follow up on that mushroom farming job/spa building job.

Holy crap, I remember seeing Strange New World when I was a wee one. I've been trying to remember what it was for years.
