"Siegelin sinänsä uraauurtava teos ei aiheuttanut samanlaisia kuumotuksia kuin Sutherland ja ihmiskoirat. Pioneeriteos joka tapauksessa."

" *First film to receive a home video release in its original aspect ratio, when The Criterion Collection releases it as Laserdisc Spine #008. The practice would go onto to become the industry-wide standard for future home video releases."

“That is along with the original The Day the Earth Stood Still, original War of the Worlds, Metropolis, Blade Runner and the granddaddy 2001:A Space Odyssey. Of the three versions I have seen of this great story, this film for me is by far the most well-done and the most faithful to the source material. It is too short perhaps though, and the ending seemed rather rushed. However the cinematography and editing still hold up very well, and the costumes, sets and effects are timeless. The script and story, with so many interesting ideas, are compelling and these ideas developed very well considering the length and the relatively fast pace(which I personally don't see as a problem).

"“When I talked with director, Don Siegel, about this picture, he spoke about his main point of departure. ‘There was a real effort to make it completely believable,’ he said. ‘That was the big chore, so that it wouldn’t be just another special effects picture.’ That utter sense of everyday reality is what makes this work so effective and memorable, a triumph of talent over financial limitations of truly imaginative direction. The final scene with Dana Wynter, by itself, is one of th"
