I will never get tired to watch this film, one of my all time science fiction favourites, anticipation film, so atmospheric, gluing for audiences, all kind of audiences, sad, gloomy but not hopeless, the best of George Pal. A philosophical tale where Rod taylor co stars Yvette Mimieux, before THE MERCENARIES, seven years later. The story is really moving, poignant, magical, I don't know why, I can not explain, you have to watch it by yourself. A very special movie which gave me something exceptional that I will never forget. The other adaptations of HG Well's are not so good as this one, I mean the 2002 feature. I don't even remember it.
