I saw this movie in my history of film class. It really is an amazing film, considering what was being done with silent films at that time. I have a question though, did anyone else think that the "scientists" look right out of harry potter? Reply

@Jdelgadillo23: I did too -- it was the first thing we watched, along with "The Great Train Robbery". This one is much better. We really enjoyed it. It's got everything -- SF, fight scene, scientists, babes, special effects.

(Also: loved finding out that my history of film class counted towards my history requirements for the associates' and transfer. Yay California.)

Daresay JK Rowling and the Potter directors have seen this as well.
