★★★★★ · Believable to me! · rlneva1941 · 2011-10-22
I would much rather watch these early attempts at sci-fi-horror than the mundane trash they get millions for at the box office today. The actors were giving all they had and produced a believable saga of triumph and calamity all with a believable dialog. Throughly enjoyed every moment of this film and hope you did too if you think about what I just told you.

Excellent older sci-fi story of a future where science is dictator, imprisoning the People; until "Nature" sends a Hero to save them,& overcome Evil Super-Science-dictator; as Metropolis is destroyed by crash-planets, revolting-WOW!Very Impressive!! Ahead of its time! Very good sets, costumes,even acting. What a gem!!-Much better than our "Super-hero"movies!! WHERE has this been hidden?-Unknown genius-director, ect!!! Canne Film Festival,where were you?? =( +,+ )=

classic film
old-school sci-fi at its campiest · ICwatUdidthere · 2011-06-15
Watch this movie for a good chuckle at what science fiction was like back in the day. Scantily-clad beauties, gladiator fights between shirtless, hyper-masculine opponents, overly-formalized dialogue, all the standard sci-fi tropes of yore are here.
