Review of Things to Come (1936) by Mike M — 30 Aug 2007
As an attempt at seeing the future, it's way off; as socio-political sci-fi, it's nothing "Metropolis" hadn't done ten years earlier. Nonetheless, whole stretches are fascinating.
The opening scenes now look like the missing link between "Potemkin" and "Alphaville", while the closing section, set in 2036, offers a truly bizarre "Star Trek"-meets-"I, Claudius" aesthetic.
