Customer Reviews

"Science is the enemy of everything natural in life."

Starting in 1940, we are given insight into how humankind progresses or regresses due to the inevitable war that lasts for decades. Will mankind ever learn to live in peace, or are we destined to destroy ourselves? Watch this movie as you are about to see "THINGS TO COME." For those people who have read HG Wells, you will find that this film is not too far left field from his original thoughts. Much of HG Wells' works show that he is some sort of a techno-fascist who believes that scientists and engineers were designed to rule the world. Raymond Massey makes great speeches; you might remember him from Ayn Rand's “The Fountainhead” (1949). In this film, he states, "and now for the rule of the airman and a new life for mankind." Another of Raymond Massey's speeches ends with "all the universe or nothing."
