I was born in 1953 so I caught this rare gem on TV. Scared me as a child, but was very thought provoking. The acting was great as was the special effects for the day.
One of the all time sci fi greats. Strong message, and a surprising sub-text I won't give away here. This movie is a great "first" sci fi movie for young kids (7 and up) to introduce them to the movie version of the "literature of ideas," and a movie everyone should see.
if you in any way consider yourself a sci-fi movie fan, you must see this movie. Not only is it a classi, but you can see how it influenced so many other sci-fi movies to come. Plus, its perfectly fine for everyone.
