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.
