Actors: Sean Connery, John Alderton, Charlotte Rampling, Niall Buggy, Christopher Casson, Bosco Hogan, Sara Kestelman, Jessica Swift, Bairbre Dowling, Reginald Jarman, Sally Anne Newton

Sean Connery delivers a powerful performance in this fantastic vision of a future world divided into two societies. The Vortex is an isolated, heavily guarded, lush community of immortal scientists and intellectuals called the Eternals. Outside the Vortex lies a desolate world laid to waste by war and pollution, peopled by the Brutals, primitive savages and killers who worship a fearsome god, Zardoz. But one rebellious Brutal (Sean Connery) is determined to survive on his own terms, which could threaten the balance of civilization - and possibly destroy it. Co-starring Charlotte Rampling, Zardoz is an entertaining adventure praised for its special effects and imaginative vision.

Some movies I find a guilty pleasure because they are so offbeat due to the director's strange vision of whatever it is they were thinking at the time that they become interesting for that very reason. Ken Russell's Lisztomania is another example of this phenomenon and more recently Aronofsky's The Fountain.

Disjointed, arty and "meaningful" in the way that only a 70's movie can be. A Sci-Fi classic of moderate awfulness, it shows its age but still has it's moments.

Ok some interesting ideas but design wise its very 70's and somewhat dated - but more than this is all a bit too self important and self indulgent.

Would rate this higher if I didnt sometimes loose the plot. Very thought provoking and tho this movie was made in 1974 it does stand the test of time. A movie for the thinking sci-fi people
