New York, 1980: airplanes have replaced cars, numbers have replaced names, pills have replaced food, government-arranged marriages have replaced love, and test tube babies have replaced ... well, you get the idea. Scientists revive a man struck by lightning in 1930; he is rechristened "Single O". He is befriended by J-21, who can't marry the girl of his dreams because he isn't "distinguished" enough -- until he is chosen for a 4-month expedition to Mars by a renegade scientist. The Mars J-21, his friend, and stowaway Single O visit is full of scantily clad women doing Busby Berkeley-style dance numbers and worshiping a fat middle-aged man.

Just Imagine
It LOOKED great, and most of the music was not all bad either, but man that was some of the worst pacing in a long time. It felt like a good 3 hours, and I found myself just wishing they’d wrap it up. The funniest scene by far was the ending, but I was so checked out by that point that I couldn’t enjoy it fully. Made me wish I was watching a different movie several times.
