Disclaimer: I'm writing this from the point of view of someone who wasn't even born at the time this movie was filmed. I don't know Jane Fonda's politics, when I was growing up she made fitness tapes. With that out of the way, this was an awesome movie. You're not watching it for plot (no groundbreaking stuff here); take that moment when as a young boy you see Princess Leia in the gold bikini and realize that girls aren't gross, make that your primary character's outfit for the bulk of the movie and place her in fantastical sci-fi settings - that's how awesome this movie is. I felt like a 13 year old again watching this, half afraid my mom would walk in and roll her eyes. The sexuality is simultaneously blatant (it was the sexual revolution, after all) and relatively tame (what was shocking then is nothing now, after all). It's pure guilty pleasure. For plot, acting ability, special effects, scenery, even costuming, think "Flash Gordon" with a female lead. I can't give this film 5 stars, because it's not important, doesn't give insight into personal or social truths, breaks absolutely no new ground in cinema. But I can easily give it 4 stars, because it's just a lot of fun. Expect to be entertained, and you won't be disappointed.Vollständige Rezension lesen
A great and campy late sixties sci fi flick about a pretty girl sent around the stars to find a man named Duran Duran. Great sets and costumes flush out the real story of the girl going from a safe, sterile existence back to a more human one. Alot of people view this film as pushing sex too much, but it really doesn't; it is just used as a device to show the growing independance of the girl. Of course some things could have been done better but overall it's a classic film in the vien of A Clockwork Orange, Soylent Green and lots of other movies of that time that were artistic while pushing the envelope.
I saw it when it first came out, but didn't remember much except the burned out torture machine. After watching it I realized it is set in a supposed to be enlighten future. Seeing Barbarella experience sexual pleasure for the first time was interesting. The blind Angel was a beautiful man, she thanks him in her unique way for saving her life. If you like fantasy and Sci Fi campy movies this one is very interesting. As others have said, Jane Fonda was a very beautiful and very young woman at the time of this movie. Her acting has become more mature and stronger. I don't judge political views when reviewing this film.
This is like the Queen of the campy farout 60's movie era. And oh my, Jane Fonda in little to no clothing? Good Heavenes arent you shocked! (Not) Space girl gets lost, space girl finds weirdo friends and an angel, space girl gets captured, space girl gets freed, space girl kinds saves the day. I shouldnt say this but, If your from the 60's era and have left over LSD rotting away, take it before watching. Its a whole new experience. Its campy, its got funny moments, its weird, its psychedelic, its full on fantasy space, its a bit cheesy and all in all, just fun.
A wonderful film based on the French Comic Book. Duran Duran gave his name to the band of the same name. Barbarella has so many adventures and learns about "Making Love" without the pill. Not the one you think! Angles fly and even Marcel Marceau SPEAKS. Invisible keys go missing, And Love and Goodness concurs all! A Must See for all humans

I saw this with my first husband on a Riverside movie theater. It was a midnight showing. I remembered we both were excited to go see it we heard it was good. I was in my 20’s and newly married. I have thought about it off & on threw the years. BUT I didn’t remember there were nude scenes in it. I remember it as it was it was ok BUT with her nude, etc. I was shocked. I don’t know why I didn’t remember it maybe because it was about 30 yrs ago. I am different now. This is like the Spaghetti Western style to me. Cheaply made, some of them were good movies... so so... Acting... below average. Sorry I have seen her in better. Was very disappointed in this one. If you like Spaghetti Westerns you will like this. I love collecting movies I saw when Very young – threw the years. Some I get are corny & I think I was scared to watch that movie or I thought this movie was great. Me I am disappointed in the second watching after all these years. I like to see clean movies that the family could watch. If you like nude scenes this is for you. If you like family style this is not for you.. Brenda .. Austin, TX.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This movie is so bad it's good. Over the top sets, psychedelic imagery, overacting, stupid cliches, sexual innuendos all through the movie. Somehow it all works.

Surprised at how racy this movie was! Not like I remembered at all from the late 60's when it first came out. And much different from the cleaned up version that makes it to TV every 10 years or so.
