Okay, Jane Fonda has that Viet Nam thingy going against her - but to err is human! Fortunately for us all, Barbarella isn't one of Fonda's mistakes.
Granted, males would certainly enjoy this film more than females, still being an artistically inclined female, I certainly appreciated the styles, the settings, and was fairly amused at some to the humorous situations.
This is a nice movie to unwind with as it was written and delivered in a "we're not taking ourselves too seriously" style.
The colors, the imagination, the sheer beauty of some of the scenes makes this a worthwhile way to unwind or even to prepare for bed - for who knows what wonderful dreams it may trigger? (Warning: If you're married, this film might inspire you to play out a few of your own fantasies???)
As you might expect, yes, this is a classic piece of fluff that I would highly recommend.

Talk about campy sci-fi movies, this is probably number one! This 1968 film stars Jane Fonda and is directed by her husband at the time, Roger Vadim. It was taken from a popular French comic book.
The movie begins as 41st century astronaut, Barbarella (Fonda) does a zero gravity strip-tease. When she finishes (credits are blocking the good parts for the guys), the President of Earth comes on the screen and tells her she must look for lost astronaut, Dr. Durand Durand in the galaxy. You could see where the 1980s pop-band, Duran Duran got it's name from (slightly spelled differently), they even had a song called "Electric Barbarella" to honor this movie.
Barbarella lands on the planet Lythion and tries to locate the evil Dr. Durand Durand. She encounters scary children that force their "Chucky" looking cannibalistic dolls on her that tear her fishnet stockings and draw blood. She is told by the catchman (a person who catches bad children) that Durand Durand is probably in the city of Sogo. She asks what she could do for the catchman since he gave her this bit of information, he told her he wanted to have sex with her the old fashion way, not by the way their psychocardiograms align, so she does and then off to Sogo. She crashes her spaceship shortly after and then meets Pygor---a blind winged-angel that she also has sex with. She convinces Pygor to fly her to Sogo, where she finds a new sin is invented every hour. Barbarella discovers a sex organ-like instrument called the Exessive Machine, where an accomplished person, in this case, Dr. Durand Durand himself, can drive a victim to death by pleasure. She also encounters a lesbian queen (Anita Pallenberg) who, in her dream chamber, can make her fantasies take form. The weirdest encounter was a group of ladies smoking (just think of the 1960s) what appears to be a huge bong where a guy is in the glass globe part of the bong floating around. Barbarella asks what they are smoking and the ladies reply, Essence of Man. She nods and continues smoking.
For its time the special effects might have been something, but to nowaday standards it is reminiscent of Plan 9 from Outer Space. The plot was not the easiest to follow, I was lost a couple of times.
This movie is definitely not one of my favorites, but I appreciated how this film was innovative for its time. And for that it deserves you to watch it. If you like sci-fi with a little bit of horror and sex thrown in, then this 1960s movie is for you. I had a couple of good laughs and it wasn't even supposed to be funny!

This movie was hardly watchable, with being so boring and moronic. But, it had a few good lines in what apparently was a complicated and way out story line. The people who wrote this more than likely were on drugs, which explains it being made in 1968. I did watch the whole thing, which is more than I can say for about 80% of the movies put out today. The special effects deserve the highest rating and is why this movie is worth watching, and maybe again for that matter. Fonda was not great in one of her first pictures, the one thing you can say is she wasn't nervous, although I did find her annoying.

IF you can over-look her NAM past this is still an enjoyable piece of SCI-Fi camp.

If you are expecting a great film, then leave this one alone. If you want to see Jane Fonda, in her prime, in various states of undress, then you are in luck!
The 'strip tease' at the start of the film is infamous. If you use your 'pause' and 'stop' buttons on the DVD, you CAN see Jane's breasts a few times.
Every costume Jane wears shows off her great body. Twice, her costume is torn up, and we see even more skin!
My favorite scene is "The Excessive Machine". Jane is put in this 'organ' and stripped of her costume. The machine is meant to pleasure you to death. Jane Fonda is great here. She sells this scene for all it's worth. Soon, she is covered in sweat, and we get many close-ups of her face, as she gives in to the pleasure. Jane then gives what may be the best orgasm ever in a PG film.
Again, the plot, and special effects are not that good. But Jane Fonda's body ROCKS!
