Old, Weird, Disgusting, Creepy, Unrealistic.... EPIC!





I was very much entertained by the film and I found it very interesting how concepts such as teleportation and gene manipulation could be present in movies early this age. However, I'm also quite sure though that many people won't appreciate the film very much since it may come off as too unrealistic or overwhelmingly gross.

That moment when the whole audience screams... It's priceless! :))
The film also tackles the consequences of the misuse of science when ethics are not followed. Being set in the 1950's it's no surprise how the scientist in the film made such rash and unethical decisions due to the lack of a supervising "ethics group" to limit his work. In a way, one could say that the film is a morality play because it shows the consequences of "playing God" and putting ones own goals over other people's.

The movie really showed how ingenious people could be during that time. After all, it's sci-fi movies like these that bring about new concepts and technology that could be made possible in the future.

Strangely, I have to say that I really liked this film even though it had a lot of loopholes, and some "stupid" scenarios. The imperfectness of this movie is what made this film so perfect. This Sci-Fi film is one of the first of it's kind making it so much more special. I really thought that the lack technology and refinements to make this film made it look eerie, sinister and different (in a good way) compared to movies you see now a days. I really do recommend that people watch this just for laughs (unless you hate disgusting images). Old, weird, disgusting, creepy, unrealistic call it whatever you want, cause I think this is EPIC!
