There are bits that wear thin, but mostly it's still quite good. Of course, the story is interesting.

But to see the Krell stuctures.... on the big screen?! Ooooo!

One of my favorites is when they're walking on a big pathway that has several more from doorways leading by 90 degrees into it, but on the right side are spherical structures with energy emanating from them!
.
Then the famous scene where they're walking on a bridge pathway with gigantic machine parts sliding up, and down the square shaftway!
In the Sc-Fi series Babylon 5 they do a visual homage to that scene!
.
I saw it in black & white first, and decades later n color.

Hope you had a great viewng!

Sounds like a cool set-up! Reminds of the old art theater in downtown Baltimore -- the Charles (or "The Chuck"). eppur_se_muova Friday #8
Looks interesting, but I never go to Baltimore. The Charles was founded in 1939, the Princeton Garden in 1920. NNadir Friday #12
