Hard to rate. A lot of psychedelic charlatanism and misogyny, but some fascinating images and direction that seek to move film forward.

If I could give it two scores I would give it a 100 and a 60. It's all over the place but bursting with ideas. The ending is as brilliant as it is lazy. It's the best and worst elements of psychedelic indulgence. What can't be denied is this film looks amazing and has a ton of strong visuals. Don't expect a cohesive narrative. At best there are repeated themes that get repeated.

For all the film's gonzo humor, Jodorowsky attempts to pull off something deathly (...) serious: allow the spectator, if s/he is so willing, to be swept up in a personal alchemical journey and create their own Philosopher's Stone - an elevation of their spiritual state. Symbolism can be a helluva drug, and some trips don’t let you return the same person.

Undeniably imaginative and inventive, and more cogent than EL TOPO, but the feeling that it is building an ad hoc cosmos lacking genuineness is not fully redeemed by the feeling that the whole thing is satirical surrealism, nor by the call back to "real life" at the end.

The most beautiful tastelessness you've ever smoked... I love the freewheeling visuals in this, but in the end, it all feels like Monty Python interludes - which were interludes for a reason.

Virei o ano assistindo-o, recomendo com veemência os comentários em áudio do Jodorowsky, aliás, todo filme deveria vir com comentários em áudio, essa é a grande vantagem de colecionar midia física na minha opinião. DVD Obras-primas do Cinema.

While irritatingly on the nose, the film's major themes and ideas appealed to my personal sensibilities far more than a film of this sort has any right to. Call it a soft spot for the confrontational and thought-provoking. As impressive as it is exhausting, however, the fruit of Jodorowsky's insane vision will undoubtedly remain an acquired taste, but there's plenty to chew on here.

Here is a fun drinking game. Drink everytime: 1) when someone is naked, 2) when there is a weird liquid and 3) when a new animal species is shown on screen. ...and then you die! With amazing spiritual images and a cool soundtrack, this drug fueled ride down the road of human insanity/deprevaty/spirituality is a powerful experience. Especially if you are wasted because you playing the drinking game above.

Possibly the most 70s thing I've ever seen. I feel enlightened, disturbed, mystified and entertained in equal measure. Like a drug-fueled bizarro version of Monty Python, dreamt up in a nightmare and steeped in mysticism and sexuality.
