About this movie

Barbarella is marked by the same audacity and originality, fantasy, humor, beauty and horror, cruelty and eroticism that make comic books such a favorite. The setting is the planet Lythion in the year 40,000, when Barbarella (Jane Fonda) makes a forced landing while traveling through space. She acts like a female James Bond, vanquishing evil in the forms of robots and monsters. She also rewards, in an uninhibited manner, the handsome men who assist her in the adventure. Whether she is wrestling with Black Guards, the evil Queen, or the Angel Pygar, she just can't seem to avoid losing at least a part of her skin-tight space suit!

Ratings and reviews

A tongue in cheek adaptation of the adult comic books Barbarella. Considering it's from 1968 visually it's pleasing to the eye; And no I don't just refer to Jane Fonda, who does look absolutely stunning. You'll likely love or hate this film, but nonetheless it should be on your bucket list of things to see before you die.

This is a brilliant classic sci fi movie. Only beaten by the like of Star Wars the original series, interstellar, Serenity, and a few others.

This is very much of the time it was made. But it brings back lots of childhood memories. Love it......
