| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Great Title- Good Book- Good Movie |
| Read the other reviews for the plot and the good and bad about non-CGI special effects. Read the book if you can find a copy, it's a good period piece and the movie is closer than usual to the book.
If non-cult 1950's SF has any appeal for you, this movie is deserves a place on your short list. I first saw this movie as a demo for Laser Disc-- a good transfer for the time. I suspect that the LD transfer was used for the DVD, but it still looks OK. |
