As a social/moral commentary Metropolis still holds relevance even today. Its message of technology and it's affect on our humanity has become the template of future science fiction films. However, it's style and film in its physical form has aged. Not, entirley on the film's fault as silent pictures restrictcs the artistic vision of filmmakers. Metropolis is still a landmark picture and I would welcome a remake about this movie as its a movie people need to see.

Rarely does a film truly earn the epithet awesome. If you've never seen this masterpiece before, I urge you to see it. Please make the effort to track down the original black and white version and ignore the shameful colourised version.

I'm giving it a high rating because I know everyone has to see it. I didn't enjoy it that much. But the imagery and the message were brilliant, along with the astounding set pieces. Personal preference brings it down 10 points.

Lang was constrained only by the limits of the time, and he pushed those limits as far as they would go in this film. While it still has several issues associated with silent films, it has many wonderful moments, which are made even more amazing by the fact that this was made before 1930. I would love to see the complete, restored version.

There have been sci-fi films before Metropolis but judged by the influences and it's relevance still today it can be said that Metropolis is the father of sci-film cinema. This film covers multiple familiar areas of sci-fi genre showing entire view of a society of the future, with brilliant visuals of flying transportation devices of the future or manufacturing of a human-like robot. Brilliant and memorable.

Among the visual splendors of the movie: the sets and décors of the legendary UFA studios; the innovative compositing technique that came to be known as the Schüfftan Process (after the great cinematographer Eugen Schüfftan); and the architectonic solidness of the compositions. But if this is the granddaddy of screen science fiction, what does that make Mélès's _Trip to the Moon_, _Conquest of the Pole_, et al.? Great-granddaddies, evidently.
