Logan's Run wanttobe. I HATED IT for the same exact structural reasons I hated ST:TNG.

"Genesis II" at least had the pleasant diversion of Mariette Hartley and her two navels, and an initial set-up that was interesting before falling apart in its final half. "Planet Earth" though was insipidly bad and insulting on all others (after suffering through it, I then laughed out loud at the end how the closing narration ripped off the old New York cop show "Naked City" completely!).

Both films just got a Blu-Ray release.
