...bold attempt, nevertheless, and embodies a real philosophy. The theory of eternal strife assumes a futuristic form as the Age of Science tempestuously follows its course to a "sane and practical" Utopia. Futility, the imperfection of mere humanity, the loss of individuality, and the desire for happiness all rebel against the omnipotence of science, and the final fade-out leaves with us the unanswered question: "The conquest of the universe--or nothing!

It is all very exciting in an unpretentious way, and a remarkably entertaining movie for the second on the bill...
