Larry Buchanan previously appeared in the blog with Its Alive, a monster movie I hated about 5 years ago.
Fast forward to now and I haven't watched much more of his movies and indeed haven't watched much this year even, at all. I am again tempted to say blog over, let's settle for now by saying blog changing. Blog slowing.
In the Year 2889 is a talky sci fi flick about isolation and suspense type stuff. It's a movie type I generally like because it's so simple and stripped down and rides on the writing. If you're not a good writer, see movies like The Devil Girl from Mars. Either way I appreciate these movies as a challenge to themselves and the crew.
2889 has a small group get trapped with an old man when a deadly fog sits in the hills, bringing with it awfully mutated killer guys. One of the trapped people is a hothead guy who wants to run the show but the oldman has a gun, and another guy is a scientist. There's the girl and viola, movie.
It's a relatively slow and generically kinda boring movie, but tbh I was expecting worse. It's doesn't have absolutely zero happen, some stuff does happen. Not a lot, but ya know. You can basically predict it so I'll spare you more plot detail.
I'll give it a 2.5. It's straight down the middle with not much to say about it.
