Rating:  - An under rated classicI
I saw this move for the first time in 1980, my freshman year at high school.

I love this 50's stuff because it grasps for the unknown and projects how our future might be. The black and white print is excellent and the acting is not bad given its B movie status. A must for any sci-fi nut.

Film theorists suggest that the act of viewing a motion picture, particularly in a theatre, causes audience members to temporarily lose their burden of personal consciousness. Although they may identify with the characters on the screen, they ... Read More
