And, the story itself is so good even a lower-budgeted TV version like this one is worth your time. It does look a tad dated but overall it's still much better than the ultra-bland later Leonard Nimoy version of the story.
As for the rest of the story, it generally was well done at showing the vacuousness of the future engineered society-and the use of drugs, genetics and sex to keep everyone dumb and happy. Much of it could be because it was so obvious since the film was a bit overlong. I found it wearisome after a while hearing him talking in Shakespearean lingo.something not as ever-present in the book. Well, I sure was surprised, as I really didn't love the film nearly as much as I once did-much of it due to the really annoying way that John the Savage talked. I loved the book and its prescient look at the future of mankind and now, decades later, I decided to watch this television adaptation once again. When I saw this television film back in 1980, I was captivated-so captivated that I almost immediately went out and read the source material, the Aldous Huxley novel.
