Faves for this Web page
I am not particularly knowledgeable about sci-fi. This movie helped me appreciate the genre...
Quoted: There are a handful of 'classic' SF movies that really demonstrate why this genre has appealed to intelligent lay audiences for so long. It's not the cheesy special effects and it's not _just_ the coolness of making contact with extraterrestrial cultures.
...
The best of these films -- like the low-budget and sometimes horrid original _Star Trek_ that they spawned -- succeed in using the genre and the medium to present the cinematic equivalent of a morality play. And if some of them, like this one, come across as a bit heavy-handed today, it's because they have fewer cliches to overcome now.
