Slow paced but the idea works well. Shot really well - it's grimy. A powerful scene later that contrasts the tone beforehand and it has an impact on the senses and is thought provoking. The company secret was pretty predictable. The half romance wasn't needed but also didn't ruin the movie. I recommend this for people that like older sci-fi

Worst Sci-Fi movie I ever seen. Soo boring, nothing never happens.

As others have said, the story is interesting but as a film it has aged very poorly. It shows in the action, the way of cinematography, the rhythm and the inconsequential romantic scenes. It's not bad but it's one of those movies that could improve with a bigger budget remake. Oh, and its final twist can be seen from a mile away.

An interesting movie that depicts a dystopian future (2022). Given that this is the past now, it is also funny to compare the 1973n vision with today. A good SciFi movie that must be watched with the eyes of the time.

There, in teeming piles, they await the next delivery of clean water and highly processed food products. The projection is that New York City alone houses some forty million peo More

I suppose modern cinema, technology, and the wonders of CGI has spoiled me; this is the second mid-1970's I've watched in the past couple days and it's just almost hard to sit through even a relatively short hour-and-a-half-long film that's this bad by today's standards. The acting was atrocious, th More

This story takes place in the bleak future of 2022 but it feels very much like 1973. There are some moments of inspiration but a number of tricks have been missed in imagining a dystopian future, notably race, gender and technology. I know that dystopia is supposed to be worse but it looks rather li More
