First of all, John Saxon was not in Genesis II, though the same character was in both films. I don't remember the actors' name from Genesis II, (Gary something I think) But I do remember that I liked him better than Saxon in the role. Second of all, these movies are conceived and, I think, directed by none other than Gene Roddenbury Himself. Also, in Genesis II, Majel Barrett Roddenbury, (aka Nurse Chapel, Number One) was in it, tho a bit part. Also, the woman in the Jim Garner Poloroid ads (I can never remember her name) is in it, as a genetically engineered human with two belly buttons. The story was about a man who is frozen for medical reasons, but soon afterwards an earthquake collapses the underground building he is in. He is awakened after the holocaust by an enclave of people trying to keep science and civilization alive. This is the group called Pax. They are able to cure his disease. He joins them and some adventure occurs involving going out into the wilderness, the nature of which escapes me. Planet Earth is the sequel to this. It involves some Amazons that keep male slaves, but I don't remember much about it, except that John Saxon seduces the leader of the Amazons.
