Religion, science, the nature of Man, class distinction, politics they re all touched on in unusual ways. If you have a taste for the decidedly offbeat and enjoy science fiction that actually causes you to think , then Zardoz could just be the ticket. To a future that doesn't work. After all, they are the thinkers, the doers the achievers while the rabble outside are so much genetic flotsam, unworthy of assistance. DVD release of Zardoz brings the sci-fi cult fave to American home video in widescreen format for the first time.
Picture quality is virtually unblemished though at times seems soft.
A new 3.0 Dolby Surround sound mix also contributes to the film s otherworldly ambiance. His anecdotes about working with Connery are best.
