Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

andreirostov71 This is a film that should not be overlooked or forgotten in the present day , 42 years ago this film production joined trends would describe as a society in the future, in the film world .Today aesthetically speaking of Z.P.G. We may seem a modest B-movie with a visual poverty and barely beat in his narrative, but the message is still highly topical , and can even be cases of countries with China and Spain , which in the case of China is a major economic power level, with a high birth rate, which is required to apply the one-child policy.The case of Spain, is set roughly in the film what we are shown a declining country with over 40 million people, statistically speaking, cease to procreate from the year 2017, that the middle classes and low, are being submitted by an authoritarian government of Mariano Rajoy is, a policy of completely unfair cuts following the dictates of Germany, Angela Merkel as the highest authority in Europe.The film speaks not only of children of couples to which the conviction for violating a law, and a government as we are shown , in his excessive fascist control the world's population , also initially shown to planet Earth devastated by uncontrolled excesses which man is the head of the excessive use made of materials , energy resources and forestry and animal species, a terrible future that nobody in their right mind would want.This film has to be seen to reflect what we are men as a species together with their achievements and failures throughout its existence, but it is a movie to be aware , not because of his good cast of actors , but also by the whole story itself .How the cult cinematographic work itself, is a reflection of the defense throughout the life of the most vulnerable and defenseless as in the case of children, and in conclusion is a great movie to be loved and vindicate see from the perspective of the time it was performed as the 70s.

JasparLamarCrabb A fairly depressing view of a future in which having a child is punishable by death. Oliver Reed & Geraldine Chaplin decide to have one anyway. As expected, that proves to be a bad idea. Best friends Don Gordon & Diane Cilento blackmail them into "sharing" the child. There's a good central idea here that's actually quite frightening & the actors, particularly Chaplin & Cilento convey a real sense of misery as wannabe mothers forbidden to give birth. Their desperation and utter sadness is palpable. Unfortunately, the movie is directed with little finesse by Michael Campus. Additonally, this sci-fi thriller suffers from very poor art direction and very dark cinematography...there are times when it's nearly impossible to tell what's going on. Not exactly a dud, but no classic either.

Coventry Films with a premise like "Z.P.G." are the most disturbing ones imaginable. This is the sort of science fiction concept that one day could actually become reality! Probably is a much less drastic format and fascist execution, but nevertheless the rudimentary principle of law-obtruded birth control is alarmingly plausible. In the distant future, when people standard have to wear oxygen masks to walk over the streets and visits museums to see what a 20th century domestic family diner looked like, the government suddenly decides that no couple is allowed anymore to produce any children for the next thirty years. This incentive is launched to put a stop to the destroying of the earth by overpopulation. The last legally born children are branded with a laser and all aspiring families are welcome to apply for a fully personalized child dummy. With removal from society as the harsh punishment for illegal pregnancy, the birth rate immediately drops back to Z(ero) P(opulation) G(rowth). However, museum actress Carol McNeil's biggest wish is to bear and raise a child. When she pursuits her will, her husband Russ – the almighty Oliver Reed – is forced to entrench his belly-developing wife in a hideout shelter and think up excuses for her continuous absence on the surface. But a severe crime like this can't be kept secret forever… "Z.P.G." is a tremendously astonishing film. It's often compared with "Logan's Run" and "Soylent Green" but this movie predates the both of them and it's immensely underrated whereas the others are more likely overrated. This is the type of absorbing Sci-Fi that gradually becomes more disturbing if you contemplate about it too much. The surveillance over the population is harrowing (for example: when you show interest in reading articles about parenthood in the library, you're promptly put in isolation for questioning) and the overall depiction of our future society is just downright depressing. People are stiff, emotionless and robot-like beings and unconditional friendship or even interaction between families doesn't seem to exist anymore. The purely fictional elements of the plot vary from pretty damn scary (the mechanical replacement kids) to silly & clichéd (live newscast reporting from a gigantic zeppelin floating over the Metropolis) but they always remain compelling. The most fantastic trump of "Z.P.G." is that the plot never stops evolving. Once the baby is born, other and even more challenging issues arise, like rivalry and all-overpowering sentiments of mother instinct. This movie is an incredibly absorbing Sci-Fi magnum opus that had my mate and I glued to the screen from start to finish. The atmosphere and despair and paranoia is so real you can almost taste it, the decors and set pieces (albeit occasionally cheap looking) are imaginative and the screenplay is so intelligently written that it covers every tiniest potential plot hole or possible default. Oliver Reed once more demonstrates what an incredibly versatile actor he was. His stern and masculine appearance truly adapts to all sorts of roles; even to a melodramatic one. "Z.P.G." was made at the peak of Reed's career, as he starred in numerous classic horror/cult movies around that time, like "The Devils", "Revolver", "The Hunting Party" and "Blue Blood".

Midnight Mark It ranks with "The Blob" as to be so bad you have to watch it to make sure someone really made a film this bad. A senseless less plot. with dubious acting from all involved. possible a must see if not to "improve" any future films, as you can always say, "Well at least it wasn't as bad as ZPG".Mark
