It would have been masterpiece, so sad that we will see it in it's true form.

On the Silver Globe is overflowing with good ideas, but much like how any song, no matter how good, will inevitably become unlistenable when cranked up loud enough, so too does this movie begin to grate on the brain with what can best be described as assaultive density. So it's seldomly an enjoyable watch and never an easy one, but for the right kind of weirdo, it's totally worth it.

Ah yes, the odd polish sci-fi movie. Keeping in mind that almost a fifth of the movie is forever lost, due to the Cultural Ministry of Poland seizing the mastercopy and cancelling the rest of the production period, it doesn't really feel as if your missing any of the plot. Let me rephrase that. All of the plot feels like it's missing. But fear not, for are you able to accept that the movie should be felt more along the lines of a piece of mystical art, then you're in for quite an experience.

The "Terry Gilliam on acid" visual style and the insistingly hysterical acting got a bit too much to endure for two and a half hour straight, but at the same time there were some beautiful imagery and original ideas. Part religious allegory, part off-beat sci-fi epic and part bat-shit crazy, this was definitely an interesting watch, if not a good one as such.

Somewhat unrateable. But one cannot deny the fact that this is a completely unique and spectacular film experience.

An often incoherent, always visually and aurally arresting, mesmerising mess. Zulawski's style doesn't do anything by half measures - characters roar in fury or start waxing philosophical at the camera for no particular reason, cameras swoop, bold imagery is hurled at the screen and actors turn their everything up to 11 just because they can. He crafts this fascinating, entrancing, strange cinematic world and whilst exhausting to watch I didn't want to leave it even after two and a half hours.

might be the most ridiculously overbloated and incoherent film i have ever seen. yet zulawski surely had the feeling he was creating the most important piece of art of all time. if you want to watch it make sure you are shit faced drunk and this could be quite an experience.

"On the Silver Globe takes raging philosophical bites on the subject of ethical freedom." - Jeremiah Kipp

Although unfinished, this is a very fascinating film that deserves to be seen. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, and by no means an conventional film, this is for those who appreciate balls-out existentialism. Over-the-top acting and religious symbolism included. Truly unique.
