As someone who loves miniatures, sci fi like this really scratches an itch in my brain. Great final soliloquy and fun visuals.

Very creative for its time and unexpectedly deep. A must watch.

Old school b&w 50s morality tale of man's interference with nature. Thoughtful. Provoking. Gotta love those special effects.

Enjoyable sci-film that takes a surprising turn into a survival film. I was disappointed with the ending, which seemed abrupt.

A high concept sci-fi premise turns into a philosophical reflection on humanity, matter and existence itself.

Classic sci-fi. Amazing effects for the time.

Really gets a lot of mileage out of the sets, visuals and premise. Just a well made older film.

Though the special effects are dated, it doesn't take away from what is a very clever story, expertly told.
