A Movie Review: World Without End

World Without End (1956).  I caught this movie on TCM.  I'm not even sure why I finished watching it.  It is a rather boring movie.  Four astronauts are heading home from Mars.  Something goes wrong with their spaceship and they time travel to the future.  Humanity is largely wiped out due to a nuclear war, but there are two main groups:  those who were largely unaffected by the nuclear war since they had hidden underground and the mutants.  The mutants attack the four astronauts.  They survive and are taken in by the humans who live underground.

Why is it a boring movie?  The battles between the astronauts and mutants are a bore.  The interaction between the underground humans and astronauts feels stilted.
