Summary: Two scientists are chosen as guinea pigs to be put into hibernation for three years. During that time, however, World War III occurs. When they wake up, not only has 50 years passed, but they are also the only living males in a new, underground society composed exclusively of women.
A Sci-fi comedy that works on both levels is a rare thing indeed. It's not a laugh riot but there's a steady stream of funny moments and beneath it all is a rather interesting sci-fi premise.
The part in the beginning where the wheelchair guy comes down the ramp and does a little spin is totally awesome. The movie itself is pretty derivative of a lot of sci-fi that had come before it, but it's still fairly entertaining.
Two scientists are awoken from stasis 50 years late to discover a female-only dystopia in this bawdy comedy that could be renamed Carry On In The Future were it not for the occasional thought-provoking idea and communism-baiting undertones. Attempting to understand all the goings on using some extremely dodgy English subtitles and my even dodgier Polish probably meant I was slightly more involved than I would otherwise have been, therefore I may have been a tad generous with my marking.
Two guys wake up from stasis 50 years late to find that a war has wiped out all other men on Earth. Instead of a sexy lesbian filled Utopia, they find that women are all frigid virgins who are ignorant about sex and reproduce via test tubes. It sounds like the set up for a bad porno, but there's lots of laughs along the way as the guys try to restore the natural order. There's also boobs.
It's all oh so very eighties, but of all the dystopian futures I've seen in movies so far, this one seems to have the most potential/boobs. The movie is sort of ok but more could have been done with the concept. The humongous inner nerd in me also noticed a character named 'Jadzia' and one named 'Dax'. Hm.
Yes, a lot of the comedy is broad, stupid and sexist but there is some pretty funny stuff here. The film manages to be quite entertaining from start to finish, with some fairly incisive social commentary. There's a lot of retro charm here, although some of it will seem dated. The cinematographer goes way overboard on the lens flares, I guess that's someone's concept of "futuristic". Stuhr has wonderful screen presence, as always.
