Good example of star power making a film enjoyable. Cruise, Moore, and Nicholson are fun to watch, as is the courtroom scenes. A bit too calculating and by the numbers at times, and do we really need any more movies about Tom Cruise overcoming father issues?

One of the best of the 1950s era cheesy science fiction films. Surprisingly effective special effects that hold up better than you might think. The film also features one of the first all electronic music soundtracks that really sets the movie. This film gave us Robby the Robot.
