Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Let's be realistic.

Excellent but underrated film
Neive Bellamy
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I remember this a long time back and one scene where some luck kid rescued was, thanks to Ark II, allowed to order any meal he wanted, and the Ark II microwave conjured it up!!! If I was that kid I'd be ordering a triple size burger and fries and then more to take with me because I know I wouldn't feature in the next episode as one-off characters only make single episode appearances per the TV trope.This episode deserves a reboot, and I'm thinking Spike Jonze should get his directorial hands on this. The stars from the series can make guest appearances, and the show can focus on contemporary issues such as the growing divide between the top 1% and the rest, the red state- blue state gulf, and sly references to how social media contributed to the collapse of modern society.

but I can't remember the name of it. Anybody remember a similar show like Ark II but with a space theme? Only thing I clearly remember is one of the kids on the show, who I *think* was an alien, was able to see anything colored red thru walls. If anybody knows what the hell i'm talking about, I'd sure like to know the name. I bought Ark II when i saw it in the store thinking this was it but it's not although I do remember this Ark show dimly ( I was 5 when this came out). I know there were tons of these mid warping shows back then but hopefully somebody can jog my memory on this one. Thanks in advance for your help!Jeff

I haven't seen ARK II in years and so my memory is cloudy as to the moralistic / preaching slant to the show, although I can believe it.As a child, I remembered loving the 'futuristic' R.V. they traveled in and some of the other gadgetry. I also recall 'Robbie The Robot' somewhere in the mix, although I'm not sure if he was part of the permanent cast.As I said before, I don't recall the overt dogma of the show, but after watching one re-run of 'Shazam!' recently on TV Land, with it's awful production values and tent-revival dialogue about moralism it makes me thankful that for the most part that era has passed for network t.v.

An RV in the future - sounds like a fortune cookie message. There was this creepy bearded weirdie who looked after the kids in the ARK II's 'crew.' Honestly, and I ask this not of the Ark II people, but of the dean of Space Academy and of Jason and the rest of Star Command -- what use are kids in dangerous missions and what the hell were you trying to teach us in the seventies? Always let the adults wear the jet pack? Always stop for freaky hippies in rags at the side of the road? Drink lots of distilled water? Let the grown-up drive? Well, definitely that last one. I remember one episode when they let the chimp drive. That damned monkey nearly bulldozed an entire village. I can vouch for that lesson personally. I once let the chimp drive.... Wait, that was my friend Steve... Whatever. It was a good show. Especially when Steve was carted off by the cops.
