This gets a bit dull about halfway through

This gets a bit dull about halfway through, but the early 70s TV sci-fi nature of the whole thing has a certain appeal.
Reviewed by Red-Barracuda 6 / 10

This was one of the most expensive TV movies of its day. It is heavily indebted to 2001: a Space Odyssey. The action takes place on Earth II which is a space station which orbits Earth and has been designated an independent nation. Its denizens are peace loving and anti-violence but this is thrown into disarray when the Chinese send out a vessel carrying nuclear warheads. For the most part this is a pretty interesting bit of sci-fi, with the Earth II itself making for an interesting setting - I guess the producers thought this too given it was intended for a TV series. The story does get a little too bogged down with the nefarious Chinese vessel though, with the attention of the narrative switching solely onto this for the second half. The set design and model work is the strength here, with the story and dramatics under-cooked. Still, despite its flaws, it still made for a pleasing bit of serious-minded TV sci-fi from the post-2001 days.
