I viewed this film for the first time a few days ago. I felt it important to see simply because many film critics have used it a a point of reference. It has also been listed as a must see. Well I have to admit, I was in no hurry to see this film. I live in an age of surround sound. A movie which is "silent" has no need to enter my theater!
Five minutes into the film, I found myself begining to be drawn into the amount of vision and the creative process that brought this idea to screen. To know what I was seeing was done in 1927, made me appreciate it's level of detail. The picture of future is amazingly created.
The restoration of this film is also top notch!!! I was very impressed at the depth of picture and clear scenes through most of the film. Hell, it looked better than "Star Trek's- The Wrath of Khan"
While I would not consider it as a great story, it was definitly entertaining, and a nice change of pace. Worth seeing for sure!
