Zardoz | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A sci-fi curio...a more gonzo version of Logan's Run - with Connery in thigh-high boots and a "Borat"-esque G-string - as a futuristic savage turned enforcer by the elites in power...

The plot is so spectacularly offbeat that it's never boring, though it's routinely idiotic.

It has that homemade, backyard look we encounter so frequently in low-budget films. This is particularly damaging to a work that tries to compete with such superproductions as 2001 and A Clockwork Orange.

For me, it achieves something that 2001, with all its light shows and gimmicks, did not, a satisfactory conclusion.

[Zardoz] demonstrates how one can make a cheap sci-fi flick look like a cheap sci-fi flick by using mirrors and prisms as substitutes for imagination.
