Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)

 
 
A man tells his story of how he became unstuck in time and abducted by aliens.
 
An unusual, but effective adaptation of a complex novel, at heart an anti-war movie, but wandering through various time zones (including a world beyond the realm of earth), sometimes a bit bewildering.

Halliwell*: "Interesting but infuriating anti-war fantasy for intellectuals."

Maltin***: "Sometimes draggy,sometimes on-target, sprawling view of life...Big-budget adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's bizarre fantasy novel is hard going for those unfamiliar with author's point of view, , gains through repeat viewings."
