With its sluggish pacing, Rollerball gradually loses momentum between its slickly constructed game sequences

Lifeless, uninspired, and crammed with enough hints of intellectual consistency to give the socially conscious critical establishment shivers of excitement.

This original version could EASILY have been trimmed down quite some with plenty of repetitive moments popping up throughout the film.

Ultimately, Rollerball gets by on its sheer monolithic quality - an abundance of quantity. Despite indifferent direction and dire humour, it is well mounted and photographed.
