The most overrated film of all-time (or even longer)

Rating: 5/10 (17 April 2004)

I saw this film around 1979. Once was enough, I couldn't bear to torture myself by seeing it again. Speaking for the silent majority I cannot understand how this mediocre film is rated at number 10 in the top 250. I wouldn't include it in the top 2,500 ! It just goes to show there's no accounting for taste ( or in this case lack of taste ). Was this film meant to be S.F, drama or comedy. The only redeeming feature in it's favour were the special effects. The plot (if there was one) was paper thin and the characters for the most part were totally unbelievable and shallow. To think this is rated higher than those masterpieces "The Third Man" and "Vertigo" is both unbelievable and laughable.
