Things to Come Ratings & Reviews
InSession Film
Brian Susbielles
An early masterpiece of the sci-fi genre...
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
The speculative qualities of this epic sci-fi drama are worth seeing, particularly due to the early year in which it was theatrically adapted.
Esquire Magazine
Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)
Go out of your way to see Things to Come, for the occasional flashes of modern design that recall Metropolis...
AARP Movies for Grownups
Bill Newcott
Everyone in this Wellsian future loves it, except for a Luddite (Cedric Hardwicke). "What is the good of all this progress?" he declares. "We demand a rest!" He's supposed to be the villain, but I find him to be the film's most sympathetic character.
New York Times
Frank S. Nugent
Things to Come is an unusual picture, a fantasy, if you will, with overtones of the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon comic strips. But it is, as well, a picture with ideas which have been expressed dramatically and with visual fascination.
TV Guide
A truly epic work which continues to fascinate.
Variety
This is England's first $1 million picture. It's an impressive but dull exposition of a bad dream.

Mark Bourne
Wells' heart must have sunk as audiences avoided his impassioned and idealistic -- yet dour and didactic -- cri de coeur.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An astonishing black-and-white visualization of Wells' view of the future.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Landmark sci-fi achievement by Menzies, and still imitated.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Simplistic, but great looking and with a great Arthur Bliss score
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
[An] imaginative, only occasionally naive forecast of the age of nuclear warfare in 1936.
