Good in the 50s

Rating: 6/10 (4 October 2002)

This is very reminiscent of a 50s sci-fi movie. It uses the medium of science fiction to explore a larger perspective whilst putting the science of the fiction into second place, as so many films did back then.

The obvious one to recall is "The Day The Earth Stood Still", and less significant but unfortunately overlooked gems such as "I Married A Monster From Outer Space".
If viewed in equivalent terms (and you are a fan of such films) you might appreciate it. Although, most of those films back then had less holes than this one, and better acting.
