Movies: Zardoz

[outsdr]

I just finished watching Zardoz.

I can't yet decide if it is the worst movie I've ever seen, or the most amazing.

Now that I saw a few clips I recall that I did indeed watch that the whole way thru before... your reaction seems appropriate.

It's crap. Not a good SF movie, not a good Connery movie, and easily Boorman's worst flick

Actually that was me- Lesley as usual has swapped to her login and not changed it back...

See, it would have made a great SF novel, but just doesn't work in the wrong medium...

I see where you're coming from, because I didn't even really understand the movie until I read the synopsis at wikipedia. There were some really good ideas that just didn't come through on the screen. Although I did enjoy the giant flying head.

It reminded me of some of the art films I've seen where I was left surrounded by people saying how amazing it was and I'm wondering what the hell I missed.
