This is most definitely a movie worth watching, and despite the 70s pre-Star Wars effects, it really has a very good story line and a pretty decently written script that is well acted. Whether you should buy it or not, to some I would say yes and to some I would say no.
If you naturally like Sci-Fi, then this would be a must. The effects for the time are cheesy, but for the time they are quite good. This movie won an Oscar for the effects.
If you are a fan of negative utopia stories like 1984 or Brave New World, this one goes along beautifully with those.
If you simply love movies, buy it.
If you are not fitting into those categories, watch it first.
