Nowadays so fashionable dystopian sci-fi movies are so schematic, always so predictable and filled with clichés. The more this classic Polish jewel can excel. The tone of the current feminist movement suggests that the movie, released more than 30 years ago, was prophetic.The movie is so refreshingly anti-feministic, emphasizing and fighting for the traditional role of a man and a woman, who the hell are different from each other. At the same time the main male character are such anti-heroes, no super-men at all! Crying and moaning when they are depressed, able to defeat the trained girl fighters only by the power of a kiss! And furthermore, it's fun from the beginning to the end.Maybe some jokes cannot be understandable for a younger and/or foreign generation, sometimes the experience from living in a socialistic country is required. Yet still most of them are timeless and maybe becoming even more topical."- What are you doing? I'm an officer! Now you aren't an officer, you are a woman!What are you doing?"

The premise shows some promise for hilarity, a la Woody Allen's "Sleeper," but this one is completely devoid of laughs and it goes on forever. The comedy is so sophomoric that it makes The Three Stooges look like sophisticated Shakespearean actors. The sets and cinematography are so cheesy that it looks like a home movie made on a budget of about $1.98. Movies like this make one appreciate the fast forward button on the remote.

Though that's not to say that it's a family movie, I'm Polish and 9/10 Polish movies have partial or full frontal female nudity, so while this did'nt bother me, it might be quite shocking for most North Americans. Getting back to the movie, seeing it when I was older made me see how silly and sexist it was. It may be about the future but remember it was created in 1984. I would'nt say it's offensive, just overly silly at times. I would recommended it for anyone who wants to see a good Polish comedy. I don't know how well they translated it, but it's quite funny.7/10 stars
... View MoreI have always wanted to see this movie for quite some time. It is Logan's Run in the next century with a few twists here and there. I wanted to see the movie because of the topless scenes in it. I never thought that men could be eradicated from an underground city. My only mistake is buying it from the wrong source, which was more expensive.
