What a shocking, bone crunching film that slips in some ideas on celebrity worship, population control and holds up a mirror to reality tv............before reality tv could be reflected in its modern form
its a film of 2 halves
in this age when CGI can created anything on screen this shows how knowing it is real still beats the smoke and mirrors of the computer effects, you feel every hit, punch, crash, you feel the jeopardy of the charactors and the actors who did this for real, how they filmed some of these sequences without CGI is jaw-dropping............this is not a film which has “no actors were hurt in the production” as a tag line
social science fiction/prediction, nearly 40 years ago this film predicts WE will not rely on books, acquired knowledge but instead any question we ask is directed to a computer programme that gives us an answer, back then it was called ZERO............google to see what we have today
did find it funny that the sets and furniture did look just the same as a walk through a modern day IKEA, there is no future just the same ideas and ideals being recycled
40 years ahead of its time, so now is a good time to watch it
