And that's really all there is to the film, but I suppose I'll have to go a little more "in-depth" if you want to believe me. As it turns out, he got these "illustrations" from a sort of tattoo artist, but these tattoos came with a price. A man who is simply wandering the world happens upon a man with fascinating body illustrations all over his torso and who-knows-where that is the premise of the film. I was actually beginning to like this thing in those moments, which were never fascinating, but none the less entertaining. The film is pretty entertaining near the beginning.

By the time it got to the half-way point, I had ran out of sympathy. I guess I wouldn't call the film "bad", but it is boring and tedious pretentious and less fascinating than it wants to be.

This adaptation of "The Illustrated Man" was made for them a film which was, unfortunately, a big fat disappointment from beginning to end. Science fiction fans are forgiving people human beings capable of enjoying a good old fashion sci-fi story even when it's one that's been overused or repeated over time, often to excess.
