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.

A couple of Polish guys are put into deep freeze for three years as an experiment, but things don't go quite as planned and they are thawed decades later when men have become extinct and women rule the world. The premise shows some promise for hilarity, a la Woody Allen's "Sleeper," but this one is completely devoid of laughs and it goes on forever. The comedy is so sophomoric that it makes The Three Stooges look like sophisticated Shakespearean actors. The sets and cinematography are so cheesy that it looks like a home movie made on a budget of about $1.98. Movies like this make one appreciate the fast forward button on the remote.
I recently saw this brilliant Polish film with English subtitles and I must say that I am becoming quite a fan of this director. After seeing this, I realize that the Wachowski Brothers are obviously Polish, hailing from Chicago - a Polish epicenter and obviously fans of this film. If you liked the philosophy, the 'what is real' twists running in the Matrix then you best check this film and witness the obvious inspiration for that stunning trilogy. This film is seriously clever, gratuitous and the obvious forerunner to what we praise the Wachowski Brothers for so cleverly revealing to the American audience; the decadence of totalitarian regimes, propaganda and fascist idiosyncrasies. Mind you this film is funny, even with subtitles.'Sex Mission' is a Polish classic. It is an obvious reaction to Communism and quite brilliant as a humanist science fiction. Quite a few scenes seem to be properly praised throughout the Matrix Trilogy and its fun to witness the clever inspiration for such blockbuster features.
Making fun of the relation between men (more less male chauvinist) and women (who rules this new world) are well made. The end of the story took me by surprise more than once because I expected the movie to end at several times where, if the of movie had been removed, I would not have known. But it goes some step further. I am not in favor of censoring political movies, but this one had to go around the political censors and did it very good. Therefore, it is not easy to see that are making a satire about the regimes in Eastern Europe during the Cold War (1945-1989).I enjoyed it very much and will see again the next time I get a chance.
I have always wanted to see this movie for quite some time. It is Logan's Run in the next century with a few twists here and there. I wanted to see the movie because of the topless scenes in it. I never thought that men could be eradicated from an underground city. My only mistake is buying it from the wrong source, which was more expensive.
