It is time again to review a movie that contains a maze or labyrinth. And there are some great maze movies out there if you were looking for one. But there is also the complete opposite, with a lot of terrible, mostly weak horror movies. So today we will will figure out which movie list the 1968 Fantasy movie Barbarella .
Describing a movie like this can be difficult. It takes place in the year 40,000 and since I do not have a time machine (but would not admit if I did), I cannot say for sure that this is how people will dress in the future, but this looks like a fashion show gone wrong. But, someone would say the same thing about today from 1920, 1820, 1720, 1620…so what do I know.
I know that this is a bad movie. The kind of movie that if you are forced to watch it you do yourself a favor and watch it at a minimum of 1.5X speed. Jane Fonda looks great in 1968. You see a lot of her because she doesn’t seem to have enough clothing most of the time. Not to interrupt myself, but shouldn’t you mention the maze/labyrinth in the movie ?
When Barberella crash lands on a planet during her mission, she must find Durand Durand in the evil city of Sogo. Surrounding Sogo is a labyrinth that contains all the good people who have been expelled from the city because they are not evil. Barb needs to find a way out of the labyrinth and into Sogo. Some of the walls are made of people. Like Soylent Green. Did I ruin it ? It came out in 1973. Deal with it.
The music is terrible. The fashion is questionable. The acting is frightful. The special effects are horrid even adjusting for time, but the poster is kind of awesome ! I give this a 5/10.
