Customer Reviews

Great 1954 technology and speculation

In a secret desert location, deep underground, is an advanced laboratory that is fighting a schedule to get the first deadly parabolic mirror into space. Seems that there are too many accidents, and scientists are being dispatched like flies. They have sent for a security agent to help sniff out the culprit. Naturally, everyone seems guilty, and the guiltiest looking has glass tubes named NOVAC; I never did trust those giant computers. The movie gets its name from two innocent-looking robots, “Gog and Magog,” that just follow orders from paper tape. But the tape is idle! Of significance to movie buffs, this is the third installment of creator Ivan Tors's series of science-fiction films, which include “The Magnetic Monster” and “Rider to the Stars.” I was appreciating all the technical dials and gadgets; there was even a Keyboard terminal (e.g., IBM 2741, Teletype Model 33) paper terminal.
