I always find it hard to judge films like this when I wasn't even relatively close to being born when this film first came out and how different films are of today compared to then. You can't really give it an objective review because we've been spoiled with superb, more-contemporary science fictions films. But nonetheless, I try to be as objective as possible and while I watch a film like this I try very hard to keep in mind when this film was made.
With all that said, I'll get on with the film review. I thought the story in this film was pretty interesting and well done. The story really does have some cool things in it, although it is a very simple plot.
The special effects are very light in this film, which shouldn't be that surprising, being made in the early 1950's. But, when they do use them, they're pretty good and somewhat impressive.
The acting in this film is nothing terribly great, but it certainly isn't bad either. The acting is pretty much what you'd expect from a 1950's sci-fi movie, lots of screaming, scared looks and what not. But all in all, there's nothing really to complain about.
I wouldn't recommend this film to everyone, but I would recommend it to anyone that truly loves the sci-fi genre (like myself) or just wants to compare this film to sci-fi films made today. I think it's good to see a film like this so that you can appreciate how far we've come with film making and special effects and all that great stuff. Anyhow, if you do see the film I hope you enjoy it for what it is. Thanks for reading,
