In the meantime, however, World War III breaks out and life has been wiped off the surface of Earth.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Nowadays so fashionable dystopian sci-fi movies are so schematic, always so predictable and filled with clichés. The more this classic Polish jewel can excel. The tone of the current feminist movement suggests that the movie, released more than 30 years ago, was prophetic.The movie is so refreshingly anti-feministic, emphasizing and fighting for the traditional role of a man and a woman, who the hell are different from each other. At the same time the main male character are such anti-heroes, no super-men at all! Crying and moaning when they are depressed, able to defeat the trained girl fighters only by the power of a kiss! And furthermore, it's fun from the beginning to the end.Maybe some jokes cannot be understandable for a younger and/or foreign generation, sometimes the experience from living in a socialistic country is required. Yet still most of them are timeless and maybe becoming even more topical."- What are you doing? I'm an officer! Now you aren't an officer, you are a woman!What are you doing?"

Sexmission was a huge surprise to me. It's funny, intelligent, well made, thought provoking, and entertaining up until the end. It never reveals its small budget, and it keeps you guessing. It is science fiction that would have done Stanislaw Lem proud for its innovation and twists.The movie involves two men - one a scientist, the other a nobody - who volunteer for an experiment in which they are to be put into deep sleep for a period of three years. They wake up sixty years later and find that they are the only men on Earth and that humanity lives underground in fear of "radiation" up above.The resultant female-only society has rewritten history and now claims all invention to be female-produced. Einstein and Newton were female, according to the law.I went into this one expecting a dopey sex comedy, judging by the title, and something depressingly cheap and moronic, judging by the genre. I got neither. While it's true that there is some incidental nudity in this movie, and also some humour, it's not a sex comedy at all, but a convincing, well-made science fiction film.

I recently saw this brilliant Polish film with English subtitles and I must say that I am becoming quite a fan of this director. After seeing this, I realize that the Wachowski Brothers are obviously Polish, hailing from Chicago - a Polish epicenter and obviously fans of this film. If you liked the philosophy, the 'what is real' twists running in the Matrix then you best check this film and witness the obvious inspiration for that stunning trilogy. This film is seriously clever, gratuitous and the obvious forerunner to what we praise the Wachowski Brothers for so cleverly revealing to the American audience; the decadence of totalitarian regimes, propaganda and fascist idiosyncrasies. Mind you this film is funny, even with subtitles.'Sex Mission' is a Polish classic. It is an obvious reaction to Communism and quite brilliant as a humanist science fiction. Quite a few scenes seem to be properly praised throughout the Matrix Trilogy and its fun to witness the clever inspiration for such blockbuster features.

I saw this movie with Danish subtitles a long time ago, and I found it very funny. It was a little difficult to find it because of its title.There are at roughly two types of science fiction. One type focuses on the fascination with science and tries to depict the future. Another type seeks to satirize or criticize contemporary society by simplifying the problems in futuristic settings.This movie is of the second kind. Two men are frozen down and wake up 50 years later in a society populated only by women. Not a very credible story, but that's not the point of the movie. The movie is full of funny dialogues as well as satire of questions of sexuality and the meaning of equality in contemporary society.The movie is highly recommended. It also gets away with the special effects quite well despite a low budget.
