Two scientists are chosen as guinea pigs for a time experiment: they are placed in hibernation and should be brought back to life after three years. In the meantime, however, World War III breaks out and life has been wiped off the surface of Earth. When they wake up, it turns out that not only 50 years have passed but also that they are the only living specimens of the male sex in a new, underground society composed exclusively of women.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Jan Zidek 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?"
jadavix 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.
Idalcia As I'm Polish I've got the possibility of enjoying every single word and dialog in this outstanding movie and somehow relating it to Polish stereotypes and history... but I really do think that 'Sexmission' will be just as hilarious to everyone... =) The plot, the action, the characters played by unrivaled actors make this movie definitely worth watching - and it makes you die with laughter =). It's number one of all the comedies I've seen, even though I've seen it hundreds of times =). Watching the poor men being woken up in the world of women and trying to catch on the situation...well it's something to see, really =)))!
Mr Dread (A) Very, very impressive. Low budget, but still sooo good! Very funny (in its original language) and creative. And if you thought that Truman Show's ending was weird, you should see this movie.. Wow. Good stuff. And the last scene ends the movie perfectly.
