The 5-out-of-10 rating is strictly for the technical quality of the 3D in the film, the naturalness (and nakedness) of the actresses and the contemporary nature of the "plot".

SPOILER ALERT HERE

Well,there's no real"plot" at all. There are a number of stories, told almost Love-American Style style but much more adult, and with casual full nudity from most of the actresses and nearly as much from the actors. Gay themes; relationship/fidelity themes; humorous drug themes. And done with 1970's-style nudity, proudly unshaven. Bushy, even. One high spot in the showing I attended was the hallmark of any good movie: a couple left in a huff about 20 minutes into the film. Full marks there.

But the pinnacle is (as of 7/17) the quality of the prismatic 3D. I have seen 3D movies since the 1950's and this film has some of the very best I have ever seen. There are some depth shots here that are almost unsurpassed at any budget level, and this was a low budget. But that said, this time "all the money was on the screen" is a truism. The technical level (on a movie screen, mind you) was mindblowing.

SPOILER ALERT HERE

Well, not really needed but this isn't a full "adult" (i.e. no penetration) film. There was an alternative version done with X inserts but this isn't it, evidenced by the copy I saw at my local Alamo Drafthouse. But if you want to see what CAN be done with the old technology of 3D, see this on a screen. It's impressive technically - just not as a movie.

Unless you have a 3D TV and a recent Blu-Ray copy of this film or you are lucky enough to actually catch a theater showing of The Stewardesses I can't recommend it. With either of those (and preferably on a screen) it's a must-see.

Well, after a few years of reading about this 3-D soft-core porn film, I finally watched this on two places online. The first place I saw this abruptly ended after an hour and 3 min.-right in the middle of a lesbian love scene. So I managed to watch the rest on a porn site. Pluses-that lesbian scene as well as a lovemaking scene between a uniformed army man and a woman with delicious close-ups of her face reacting. Minuses-one scene of a woman doing it with a face bust on a lamp stand, complete with silhouette of her pleasuring herself and the ending "love" scene with the woman not enjoying it and resulting in a tragic ending. So that's my review of The Stewardesses. Oh, and the version I watched was not in 3-D which is just as well because, other than some scenes at a haunted house in an amusement park not to mention on a roller coaster, it wouldn't be thrilling to watch in that format...

This film is not like too many today where the medium is more important than the content. Just look at 3D Avatar or digital TV. There's nothing on the TV to watch but plenty of writing on the corner of the screen and menu gadgets to play with. The Stewardesses are interesting and involving characters. Christina Hart plays an ambitious stewardess who wants closeted gay adman Michael Garret to help promote her career as an actress. She discovers a downer of a nightmare evening together with him. Jo is the lesbian head stewardess who has a wild fling with Kathy, promising a promotion for her in return. The 60's are well captured in segments featuring nude yoga and a 3-D acid trip! Each erotic adventure is well staged and never repeats the same style of the last one. The drawbacks are objects filmed just to show the 3-D vision at work, but these are minimal and don't distract from the story or actresses involved. 3D on a full color DVD did not work for me. The best parts that looked 3D with glasses were not as good as a double coated baseball card picture.
