i have recently watch colossus for the first time in many year and find it still a classic for sci fi purist . it seem sad to me in these day of explosion sci fi that there be little or no room for this type of conference room drama . although the premise be a very old one in the manner of man create machine in his own image and this film present the story in the psychological and political arena . the film be not overlong and yet the character and their futility to stop the unstoppable be clearly develop . although the technology of 1969 be the back drop for this tale and the message of colossus come through to u in our modern age of computer in every home . like a shakespeare play in a manner of speaking . we be much wiser about computer nowadays though and and we grudgingly admit that trust the red button be far well in the hand of men than machine if such thing must be . so commission a project of this type would be ludicrous and far from plausible in the first place . so why be this movie good then to myself and the other reviewer . even though we may not create a defense system in this way and it seem to predict a visage of something that be yet to come . and it a frightful one . the first word of colossus say it best there be another system .
