Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …Star Wars on a tatty shoestring… Rated: 1/5 May 7, 2023 Full Review Bobby Dupea Starburst This haw literature, this was a classic. But it sure isn’t any more! This is a sad, sorry, utterly unforgivable farce. Jul 22, 2022 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk while it is hardly the worst of the Star Wars knockoffs, The Shape of the Things to Come is memorable primarily for its various failings Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 26, 2016 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

David W And to think this was made AFTER Star Wars.... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Dan C Some good actors calling in their lines from somewhere that was too embarrassed to allow it to be named in the credits. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Stunningly bad. If you can discern a plot, you're paying too much attention. Barry Morse's space suit makes him look like a baked potato. It seems that Carol Lynley was instructed to swing her arms vigorously while walking, even if only taking a single step. Weird. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Set in "the tomorrow after tomorrow" - which I presume means it is set in the very distant future rather than in two days' time, the two things this film is certainly far from are being any good and the novel that the film's title firmly suggests it is based on. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member not so much skip this see the 1936 version it is far superior 2 this version. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Not one of the best of interpretations of the work of H.G. Wells But we get some so-so to decent western story set on the moon with a crazy guy and some heroes saving the day. Little like all over the place without getting anywhere. Decent acting is inckuded Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
