Star Trek:TOS "Return Of The Archons"


Any fellow Star Trek fans here? I've not seen this film, but from what I saw in the promos, the premise is similar to the episode I cited in my title. I am NOT saying it's a ripoff, just noticing the similarities.

Be cautious when you see a light at the end of the tunnel. It could be an oncoming train.

I thought it was similar too

It was the first thing I said when I first saw it...! Very similar themes...

 I said it the first time I saw the promo.

In our screwed up world the light at the end of the tunnel is likely an oncoming train

That guy was creepy enough to be in this movie.

First trailer I saw I said, "It's almost The Red Hour", and then wondered if there was going to be a character named, Landru. Yeah, I'm a nerd, and yeah, this movie is a total ripoff. A bad one too.

total ripoff, surprised more isn't talked about how as this seems to be turning into a semi-respectable series of movies from a revenue standpoint....
