Things to Come is an unusual picture, a fantasy, if you will, with overtones of the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon comic strips. But it is, as well, a picture with ideas which have been expressed dramatically and with visual fascination.

This is England's first $1 million picture. It's an impressive but dull exposition of a bad dream.

Spookily prescient in many of its ideas, this is fascinating whilst being a little clumsy and dated, even for its time.

"Grandiose" in the worst sense of that bad word.
