An extraordinarily silly film that thinks it's deeply profound, so has a certain po-faced solemnity that gets in the way of me being able to enjoy it at all really.

If ultimately (inevitably?) a little dated, seen in the context of the forefront of 50s sci-fi, this is quite a remarkable achievement, with Wise's command of epic scope film-making evident even confined to Academy ratio! Low-key and believable performances from a fine cast put this yards ahead of more hysterical 50s entries with Rennie's square blockishness a perfect fit for Klaatu; wonderful, iconically creepy score from Herrmann is icing on the cake.

Nice concept, but it comes with poor execution of story and plot. The atmosphere of the film is great though. Good effects and set & sound design. Definitely worth a watch.

It does what sci-fi does best: take anxieties of the time by speculating on future uncertainty. The story works well globally--as it wonders how post WW2 issues may erupt into worldwide calamity. But it somewhat misses the mark with the characters as they lack a compelling personal narrative. Still, Wise's direction--especially via production design, acting, montages, and music--is top notch. It makes this film (along with Invasion of the Body Snatchers) perhaps the Citizen Kane of 50's sci-fi.

Seen today, it's a very silly movie. Often, the idiocy of the characters' behaviours are plot devices. Its moral is naive (the guy who just wants to be a big shot..). I'm not sure I'm too happy to learn that there is an almighty robot police force checking on me all the time. It doesn't sound like a very good idea. *checks 20th history*. Oh god no it doesn't. The use of light is great though.
