I loved the film adaptation of the book. The changes are not bad and the movie still get's Huxley's point across how technology and tyrannical power mixed together can be a devastation to society as a whole as well the individuality of humans. It also clearly shows the mundane emptiness of life when the thoughts, feelings and emotions of love are eradicated from society minus Bernard Marx who helps to show us that.The idea of a future where the government controls all your thoughts, feelings, emotions, habits, movements, love-life and more through technology and their own love of power and control is well done in this film adaptation of Huxley's Brave New World.The film and book will leave you with thought-provoking questions and help one to define their own beliefs: total freedom, total control, or somewhere in between.Note: If you like this film then you may like THX 1138 (1971) 9/10

This movie is definitely a made-for-television movie, as evidenced by it's rather poor production quality and bad acting. It definitely deviates significantly from the book in such a way that harms the film. The soundtrack is pretty poor as well.However, Leonard Nimoy definitely fit the role he had in this movie well and actually helped make the film somewhat watchable. It's definitely more watchable than a lot of other made-for-TV movies.Taking all of this into account, I'm giving this movie a 4. This movie had potential to be good, if the script had only stuck to the book more closely, and better actors/actresses were cast.

The motion picture "Brave New World" directed by Libman embodies the most important constituents of the same named novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. The structure of society is good shown, so the viewer gets to know the caste system and the important personalities very early."Now…we have no crime, no war, no disease and everyone is happy".This how Gabriel a character special added for the movie represents the youth and shows in progress that he can reject the current society which is really well shown in the sequence in the end of the motion picture where Gabriel crams full his ears during the hypnopaedia. But what me personally impressed was the "trifles" in the movie e.g. when John acts Romeo and Juliet in front of Lenina's class and gets ridiculous feedback from the pupils with one exception: Gabriel.Libman also really good show the changes of the main characters like Marx' envy on John because of his relationship to Lenina who changes most of all. The hand-kiss on John when his mother lies in death visualize marvelously her developed feelings. And so Libman creates a "Triangle of Love". Of course a movie is not a movie without action. In this way he lets the D.H.C played by Miguel Ferrer manipulate a crashed Delta to kill Marx because of his fear that his "little secret" becomes published. Marx is played by Peter Gallagher who becomes international famous by the aid of the successful show "O.C. California". His relationship with Lenina and the consequent developed "Love Story" between her rises when John the Savage arrives the "Brave New World".With reference to the visual representation Libman and Williams (2nd director) have to be extolled. All the slogans and quotations from the novel run through my head after I saw the movie for the first time."Everyone belongs to everyone else", "history is bunk.", "Promuscuity is a citizen's duty." Also the visualization of the facts like the D.H.C's conviction as John's father is very well shown in a kind of a TV-Show.What I have to criticize is the absence of my favorite character in the novel Hemholtz Watson and the changed characteristics like Marx' outward appearance. Libman embodies in his whole movie lots of different aspects; so the motion picture concludes love, action and a kind of thriller.All in all I acclaim the film version and I am afraid that there is not a DVD version of it with German sound. This movie is really interesting and shows you for 87 minutes a "Brave New World".

I'm not sure what I'm more embarrassed to admit: that I've seen this movie or that I don't miss it any time it airs. Okay, it's probably the second one.There are some good performances struggling to break out. Peter Gallagher is always pretty solid and I've always been a fan of Miguel Ferrer. Rya Kihlstedt is certainly sexy and better than what's she's given to work with.The fact that this is an adaptation is no excuse for its weaknesses, furthermore, none of the changes enhanced the story, anyway.On the plus side, this is one of the funniest damn movies about a dystopian future that has ever been released. Normally, I don't bother with reviews, but I wanted to share the joy with this one. I can't help but laugh out loud when the pinhead delta runs head-first into Bernard's window projector thingamajig. I wonder if that counts as a spoiler.
