Movie Reviews of Zardoz
Movie Review: Zardoz is a Science Fiction MasterPIece
Summary: 5 Stars
Zardoz in one of my favorites Movies,and i watch it over and over,
and the more i watch it the more i love it.
Zardoz is about life, death and imortality,
wich is the most important theme for spiritually
evolved persons. It's "to be or not to be"
If you are dumb you will not understand the movie.
It was kind of a low cost budget,
but to composate they create an artistics
environement wich is absolutely unique
and amazing.
The DVD is pretty good, good image,
the english sound is good, but
the French mono sound is not worth it,
i always watch it using the english sound.
The audio commentary is very usefull and you learn
a great deal of things about this movie.
If you like Science fiction And/or philosophy,
this Zardoz DVD is an absolute Must.
I also think this movies should be shown
in philosophy class.
Movie Review: Zardog is the Most Interesting Movie You've Never Heard Of
Summary: 5 Stars
Zardoz is the most important movie nobody (I know) has seen. Forget that there is a lot of nakedness and topless women; or, that you get to see a super-buff, 1974-era, Sean Connery running around for more than two hours in a pair of underwear; this is an important movie or utopia gone terribly distopian. Zardoz is written and played out like a broadway musical, with lithe dancer-actors, it is presented like a play. This is not a sophisticated movie but it will surely make you think. I would say that Zardoz is both brilliant and campy; insightful and kitchy, and brutal and actually very good at dealing with the concept of balance: in order to grow as men and as a society, one cannot -- must not -- merely separate physically from poverty, ignorance, sickness, and death; but, rather, integrate, integrate, integrate -- or perish. Bravo! See it.Movie Review: Cult Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's get it straight: this is a weird move. It's five stars, but not Silence of the Lambs five stars, or Alien five stars, or Monty Python and the Holy Grail five stars. This movie is like the love child of A Clockwork Orange and Planet of the Apes -- a strange, mutant movie with a compelling vision, a surprisingly good storyline, and unstintingly odd imagery. A distopia unlike any other captured on film is brought to a graceful yet lurching fulfillment in a film that is one part masterpiece, and two parts acid trip. Although it will always exist outside the horizon of mainstream taste, the movie is nevertheless cohesive and, in its way, brilliant, capturing your imagination even as you try to sort out what, exactly, is going on. There is an answer. And that answer is Zardoz.Movie Review: Forgotten Classic of 70s Sci-Fi
Summary: 5 Stars
A must see for fans of "dystopian" cinema. A giant flying head; a land of aesthete immortals; Sean Connery with hair... the weirdness never stops in this early `70's psychedelic sci-fi flick. Sure, it's a bit cheesy: Connery spends the entire running around as a loin-cloth wearing savage in a land of toga-clad immortals; but the film's bizarre Nietzsche meets Kafka meets Philip K. Dick plot is packed with more genuine twists and turns than most "A" level sci-fi flicks I've seen. If you're the type of film fan that can discuss Blade Runner's "exploration of the nature of humanity" with a straight face, yet relishes the trippy camp of "Omega Man" and "Logan's Run" this film is for you.Movie Review: Advanced for its time and a "trick" finish
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was made some time ago (1974) but it became an underground cult classic because of its themes and ideas as well as for some of the performances that were delivered. The movie presents us with Earth far into the future. The world is inhabited by two types of humans: very advanced folk who are immortal and have very powerful technology and world-control, and lesser mortals who are basically horse-riding savages. But one of the savages (Sean Connery) is not so stupid, and he is going to surprise the "gods". But not even he is prepared for the truth of his origins and capabilities. Very cool stuff even if the special effects are a bit hokey by today's standards.
