Editorial Review:
Description:
Two societies, one intellectual (the Eternals) and the other physical (the Brutals) live side by side but never meet. Sean Connery is a Brutal out to shake things up.
Amazon.com:
A bewigged Sean Connery is Zed, a savage "exterminator" commanded by the mysterious god Zardoz to eliminate Brutals, survivors of an unspecified worldwide catastrophe. Zed stows away inside Zardoz's enormous idol (a flying stone head) and is taken to the pastoral land of the Eternals, a matriarchal, quasi-medieval society that has achieved psychic abilities as well as immortality. Zed finds as much hope as disgust with the Eternals; their advancements have also robbed them of physical passion, turning their existence into a living death. Zed becomes the Eternals' unlikely messiah, but in order to save them--and himself--he must confront the truth behind Zardoz and his own identity inside the Tabernacle, the Eternals' omnipresent master computer.
A box office failure, John Boorman's Zardoz has developed a cult following among science fiction fans whose tastes run toward more cerebral fare, such as The Andromeda Strain and Phase IV. An entrancing if overly ambitious (by Boorman's own admission) film, Zardoz offers pointed commentary on class structure and religion inside its complex plot and head-movie visuals; its healthy doses of sex and violence will involve viewers even if the story machinations escape them. Beautifully photographed near Boorman's home in Ireland's Wicklow Mountains by Geoffrey Unsworth (2001), its production design is courtesy of longtime Boorman associate Anthony Pratt, who creates a believable society within the film's million-dollar budget. The letterboxed DVD presentation includes engaging commentary by Boorman, who discusses the special effects (all created in-camera) as well as working with a post-Bond Connery. --Paul Gaita

Considering a title like "Zardoz" and a cover featuring Sean Connery in what looks like a red diaper, this movie has a lot more seriousness and quality going for it. It is 70s science fiction: glitzy, ridiculous special effects providing a medium for real social commentary. The thing is, though, Boorman plays up the surreal and Carnivalesque in this movie, resulting in something closer to a fever dream than escapist fantasy. Re-introducing the social commentary results in a movie that is compelling ... Read More

Sean Connery is excellent in all of his movies. This vision of the future was well done, very imaginative.

A complicated plot to say the least, flying stone head, hippy overtones, goofy special effects, freckle faced actors,and.... SEAN CONNERY? By George this is just about the kookiest movie there is! Having said that it is one of my favorites, perhaps because I saw it in the theater when it came out and it reminds me of those days. Very enjoyable movie but you may have to watch it a few times to figure the whole thing out.
Not much in the way of special features but a fun movie at a great ... Read More

I love British film, and their quirky humor. Of course, like all SciFi, there's a message, which in this case was melodramatic. Do we really want to ... (don't want to give away the what we want). It's all silliness, and somehow Sean Connery fits the part perfectly. The cinematography could have improved, and it was obvious that it took place on English country side somewhere. If people are not brilliant, rich or the elite, are they really that stupid and ovine? I don't think so. If you like ... Read More
