NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

stangya sorensa In the book, the all-purpose human being that emerges is a dazzling, charismatic creature like Adam Warlock in Marvel comics; in the film, he's a hairy hunchbacked neanderthal. Totally ludicrous and completely unnecessary re-writing! Also, why didn't they state explicily Ms Brunner's real nature (she's a succubus, a female sexual vampire); does Moorcock have issues in that area?

wh2828-1 i saw this gobbler in my early twenties(I'm 55) and remember it as a movie where everyone is going to die because our genetic code is coming to an end, so as a result, no one has anything to lose(nuns at a slot machine)and mayhem is the order of the day.i also seem to remember the lead)sarrazin) and the female protagonist getting together and fusing into one advanced next-stage human. I cant remember what happens to everyone else, but the sarrazin/female character delivers a Bogart-like remark like "shee ya around' shweetheart"or something like that.I'd sure like to see it again, but i don't think this one made it to tape, let alone DVD**notice veteran actor Sterling Hayden(Gen.Jack D. Ripper from Dr. Strangelove) as Major wrongway lindbergh in this one-of-a-kind film.

ubercommando OK, I've seen it...nope, not making sense...watch it again...nope, not getting it...hang on, I'll read the book maybe that will help...nada...A sometimes fun, sometimes interesting but a thorough mess of a movie of a sometimes fun, sometimes interesting thorough mess of a book. It's like being in a time loop where Jerry Cornelius is always attending his father's funeral, always half-fancying his sister and always pursuing his brother Frank. Some of the sets like the nightclub "King Cool Flipped His Lid..." are well done, there are some amusing lines such as "I have a Phantom Jet parked outside...", "Shit, it's the Greek!" and "Hmmm, Rhesus positive" on merely touching a bloodstain. But very little is coherent; Miss Brunner "absorbs" her lovers but just what does that mean and how does she do it? Is it a post-apocalyptic world or not? What the hell happens at the end with a simian Cornelius/Brunner hybrid muttering about "what a very tasty world"? I'll give it this, Jon Finch turns in a great performance but this really is a beer n' pretzels ludicrous movie.

pmapson I first saw this film when it came out in 1973, and just watched it for the second time on DVD. Excellent production values and camera work. Stars Jon Finch as androgynous (but heterosexual) dandy-dressing Jerry Cornelius, with black nail polish; looks a bit like a cross between an older Johnny Depp and Billy Zane. Also stars Sterling Hayden, Julie Ege and the evil (duh) Nazi guy from "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The film itself is a cult science fiction fantasy in the best tradition of the late '60's - early '70's, with similarities in style to The Prisoner, early James Bond (slightly), Clockwork Orange, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and The Avengers (the director worked on the last two of those also). It is years ahead of its time in theme and science, but lapses into camp several times, especially as it progresses. It is rather disjointed, but the acting and sets are both good. Based on a story by Michael Moorcock.
