Reviewer notes
RecommendedGot the new Arrow Video 4K release and decided to give this another watch. Still not great but lots of fun to watch and of course Jane Fonda was sexy as hell. Wouldn't mind seeing the novel getting another adaptation, I can see someone like Edgar Wright giving it a shot (perhaps with Ana de Armas in the lead). **3.0/5**
Not recommendedI can't help but wonder what Jane Fonda might think if she were to look back on this sexy sci-fi nonsense from 50 years ago.…
Not recommendedTrusted family reviewers**Revolutionary in its time, and still highly regarded today, it is an attack on good visual taste and brings a very stupid story.** There are films that stand out because they are really very good, for the high quality of the production, the work of the actors and the story that is told. But a film doesn't become popular or iconic just for that...…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersDecent watch, might watch again, but can't recommend unless it's for a Bad Movie Night. I want to like this movie, it really might have been a great movie, once upon a time, but it still would have been a "comedy-whatever" movie, and it's humor is done well. The production value is laughable 50 years later, but even so there are odd choices most likely done for the imagery or comedic effect.…
