Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Beware, this movie is unwatchably dull
Review: This movie is rated 5 stars because a small following of fans clearly think it is cool -- or think they are cool for watching these self-indulgent French art films. But beware! Chances are you will find this film unwatchably dull. It looks like it was made for about $1000, with actors hired off the street. Special effects include long scenes of people walking thru steam tunnels, and an evil supercomputer consisting of a lamp set behind a slowly turning electric fan.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: a weird film and quite interesting
Review: This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.

This film which is one of several involving the character Lemmy Caution remains popular to this day as one of the few science fiction films with no special effects. It is a good view of a technocratic society an has elements which at the time seemed like fantasy but in our computer age seems more feasible.

The film also has a voice over that is really deep and raspy that sounds very interesting.

The DVD does not have any special features but still is a good one to buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BIG UP MR. GODARD
Review: Yo, this is the bomb, a Marxist Science Fiction film. We need more of these and less agressive office workers, police officers, and Christians.

Jah Rastafari.....don't even touch that mobile phone.
