This feels mostly like a cheap version of a 60s disaster movies. It isn't particular good, the plot and characters utterly predictable and clichéd, the effects are second-rate and there is plenty use of stock footage, but the cliched human drama is done adequate and the pace sufficient enough to pass the time.

Good, thoughtful science fiction, if a bit slow-paced.

"You're mad! You're playing God!" "Pray!" I first saw this as a little kid in Reno (in the childcare center while my mom went off to play the slots). Nowadays it would probably be considered "inappropriate for younger viewers" (or something wienie), but I loved it. It features lots of explosions, and the usual gush of scientific-sounding folderol. Andrews plays his typical character in later years, the Total Jerk. Scott is great, and Moore is like Christopher Lee.
