Genesis II (1973)

Directed by John Llewellyn Moxey
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Post-Star Trek Gene Roddenberry story about a man who wakes up in the future after a suspended animation experiment fails. The post-nuke civilization resembles the Roman Empire, complete with togas and slavery. A revolution is brewing led by the Pax, a group descended from scientists who are trying to preserve ancient culture while freeing the slaves. Alex Cord and his moustache star as the "man from the past". Mariette Hartley and her two navels are the love interest and sympathiser to the cause.
