Spacecab1, that's the point of most movies now...mindless entertainment. Look waaay back to the pilot episode of the original Star Trek...a masterpiece that makes you think, you end up wondering what is real and what our minds might be making up as illusion, but audiences hated it, and the first aired episode with Kirk and Spock was therefore dumbed down to fistfights and brawls and babes with a sci-fi background...don't make the audience use thier brains, or your box office will suffer badly...
I heart Zardoz. Any movie that starts with a floating head saying "The gun is good...the penis is evil...go forth and kill" is a classic. I watched it for the first time this weekend - it was pretty ahead of its time.
Also: a vastly powerful nulti-user computer network (the Tabernacle); all individuals being computer chipped; constant monitoring of people's thoughts and activities; computer storage of people's memories; cloning; exploitation of the poverty-stricken masses by the privileged few. And yes, the thoroughly dated hippyish bits and the impenetrably wtf?! bits do compromise the film somewhat. You have to either ignore those bits, or accept them without question. The book clarifies much of it, too.
Interesting observation!

It's a little bit more sensible than religions today...at least those guys can actually see the man in the sky they worship...LOL

Agreed. Having direct experience of your deity would help a great deal.

This movie has some really good ideas.
Search engines, getting bored with eternal life, people seperating themselves from rougher people in the future, to name a few.
It is though very dated and has a lot of stupid bits that ruin it.

id rather watch this movie that has a point then movies like i am legend or cloverfield that are just to stimulate your eyes not your mind

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Although this is all I've seen, I'm ready to declare it the worst movie ever made.
