Title: A Classic Film, Even With the Cheesy Parts.
Review: Okay, here's the deal: Forget all the talk about this being a sci-fi version of "The Tempest." This film is possibly the pinnacle of sci-fi films of the Atomic Age.This is the film that seemed to have inspired the original Star Trek series, both in theme and style. However, with a larger budget than Star Trek would eventually have, it has much more in the way of bells and whistles.It has a Captain, a fair maiden, a stately scientist, a cadre of astronauts (who really act like WWII Navy men right down to the stereotypically undisciplined "cook" character,) a mysterious robot with unknown intentions, and a force that that threatens to destroy them all.This is one of the few science fiction films from the Fifties that is both entertaining AND intelligent. It does tend to stray at times in a silly subplot about a love triangle, but don't let that deter you from buying this item. It is a keeper.
