Great sci-fi classic. One of the few I still had to go. Excellent script and acting. Knowing that this film is 70 years old, there is nothing to complain about the (scarce) special effects, I know plenty of contemporary CGI films with much worse effects. It also seems to me to be a film that paved the way for the many sci-fi films made after that. Towards the 4*

The most famous SF film from the 50s/60s of course, but is it all so
exciting? The message that the film carries is of course very topical.
