One of Michael Raven's more imaginative features, "Millennium" (original title: "Millennium Y2K") takes place days before New Year's Eve 2000, dealing with the widespread fears at the time of an impending catastrophe from expected computer glitches re: Y2K.

Raven wrote himself a juicy role as Orpheus (big hint that he's riffing in porn-parody mode on "The Matrix"), who from a vantage point 100 years in the future is attempting to rewrite history in order to avoid the dystopia instituted when the authorities faked a calamity and put humanity into slavey by creating The Grid, turning everyone into Sleepers, living a fantasy existence.

To go back in time Orpheus uses dreams, with beautiful star Katja Kean his target, to contact her in dreams and have her join his team of rebels fighting the system, controled by the Overlord (George Kaplan, who doubles as a TV news reporter). Raven also did some okay visual effects including Green Screen work, hardly up to "Matrix" big-budget levels but adequate in creating a shoestring science fiction background here.

Likewise there is a brief and somewhat clunky martial arts fight (choregraphed by "Master Poe", in which Orpheus easily defeats various agents including Evan Stone.

KK ends up saving the day and yielding a positive future in the 21st Century for herself and mankind, including a specific happy ending I didn't see coming.

It's something of an achievement that Raven's cast of a couple dozen porn players execute half a dozen sex scenes and get the plot resolved in under an hour and a half running time. It's far better and more creative than modern porn-parodies, which are generally stupid ripoffs.
