Low-budget and made for TV, yes, but also perfect casting and good sets and costumes. Lenina's resemblance to Anna Karina in Alphaville can't be accidental. Compared with the low-rent mall interiors of THX1138 and Logan's Run it looks luxurious. The better you know the book the more interesting it will be. BNW is hardly a literary classic, rather a socio-political essay like 1984. Huxley foresaw so much so early - in 1932 there were only two totalitarian states, Soviet Russia and Fascist Italy, neither especially consumerist. A few of Huxley's ideas are missing from the film, notably the deification of Henry Ford and the prevalence of cloning. But there are few missteps compared with most adaptations, just a hokey ending, the deranged Delta assassin subplot, and making Linda an outsider instead of a misplaced 'civilized' person. The slogans are straight from the book, even the song lyrics. Fortunately the 20th century demonstrated that neither totalitarian propaganda nor relentless advertising can really get people to believe lies for long. But in most ways the real world has turned out worse than BNW - Huxley predicted the pornography of sex but not the pornography of violence, Betas (or worse) are running things, not Alphas, and every attempt at Soma (ecstasy, Valium) has turned out to have a dark side.
