The Humanoid (1979)
4/10
A must watch, unless you're out of your gravity zone

A film that will leave you dumbfounded in the best of ways. Best watched with others, as you can share the preposterous scenes, dialogue, mundane futuristic names, low budget effects and scenery, all to the ill fitting and somehow disconcerting soundtrack by Italy's greatest (do not look it up until after the film).

Europe in the 70s can be credited for some of the best science fiction operas, found in many fumetti or bande dessinee, and elements can be found in The Humanoid........if you look really, really, really hard, and look a bit hard still.

Richard Kiel is done a disservice with his character being so monosyllabic for most of the film. Barbara Bach is busty, beautiful, and sports one of the best space future hairstyles ever. Corinne Clery is so beautiful it will hurt your soul just a bit each time she is on camera. And Harrison Ford is lucky that this film is bad, otherwise he'd find his household name replaced by Leonard Mann, who's Nick is Han Solo, Buck Rogers, Starbuck, Chuck Norris all rolled into one.

A must for fans of good bad movies.
