Things to Come
1936NR
100 minutes

" After decades of world war and a plague that wiped out much of the
population, mankind struggles to rebuild its once-great civilization.
Progress is at last being made, until the eve of a new manned space
flight, when fear of another technological era threatens to tear apart
the new society. Raymond Massey, Cedric Hardwicke and Ralph Richardson
star in a story by H.G. Wells, adapted by the author himself." -
Netflix

The new Harryhausen release of Things is just fabulous. For 1936 the
effects work is just out of sight. A lot of the acting thou is a bit
well, um, overblown. Besides the FX what really makes this film a
treasure is the dialog at the end. This is a film to truly inspire
the sentient being.

Not -as you can see- recommended.
