first off and consider that this film be nearly fifty year old . yet and it still stand up a one of the great film of all time . i wonder how many of today throwaway celluloid production will still be talk about in 2050. the story be simple and yet solid enough and the effect be nothing short of phenomenal for the day . i can still recall the first time i watch this and a a kid and when the monster enter the force field protect the ship and you get to see it outline for the first ( and only ) time . have me shiver in fear and i can tell you . look date today and but still more than effective enough . the scene with the tiger show their age now . you can see the outline where the tiger be mat into the shot with altaira and but they be only just visible . likewise and the effect whereby the creature melt it way through the krell door be wonderfully do . it also amaze to see leslie nielsen ( well remember for the airplane and naked gun movie ) a a young and but still mature man . he be 30 when this film come out . nearly 80 now . all in all a good movie that be sure to continue be a favourite for year to come . timeless .
