Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

wzrdmstr Although terribly "talky", there are many redeeming qualities that make this story worthy of being filmed again. The storyline bears a similarity to the 1951 "The Day the Earth Stood Still" in that it delves into the paranoia and prejudices of the times. And though the dialog is horribly dated, (more like reading a novel or listening to a 1930's radio drama) the concept is excellent. With it's twists and turns of the story and some prudent trimming of all of that dialog, the drama of the story would hold up in today's market.The make-up design of Jack Pierce was quite striking for such a low budget venture. Likewise, many of the camera shots and the lighting were of an excellent quality. In today's world, where "special effects in search of a decent story" seems to be a large part of what makes it into production, this gets my nomination for an updated version.

Ben Larson The strangest thing about this movie is "The Order of Flesh and Blood." What a strange name. It ranks up there with the Teaparty. Just as the Humanoids will soon outnumber the humans, the folks that make up the Teaparty will soon be outnumbered by minority groups. The Teaparty, like the Order of Flesh and Blood, desperately tries to hang on to their narrow vision.The discussion, especially between Cragis (Don Megowan) and his sister Esme (Frances McCann) could be a duplicate of what goes on in families with TeaParty members. "I feel sorry for you, Cragis, it must be difficult to be so afraid."But, the twist in the film is most delicious.

davidjoyce-736-145009 Actually, I loved the film as a child and still do.It's a great thought-provoking film that helped in my understanding of social issues during and since the 60's. I actually brought up the film during a discussion with a Marxist professor in the early 80's as an example of the attack on American morality by the far left.I liked the basic tenets of equality, but the sister's absurd attraction to a non-human served to subject the minds of young people to extreme non-traditional behaviors and narcissism. Not surprised "they" claim it as one of Andy Warhol's favorite movies.This film serves as yet another example of sixties disestablishmentarianism. (eg: "Silent Running" and environmentalism ten years later.) 9/10 for creativity

mikelcat This is an above average sci-fi film without the usual special effects where the concept is the attraction , where you are asked to think about the possibilities .In this future man has all but destroy's himself , not to far fetched at all and humanoid robots are performing all the tasks man used to , even loving women .This of course makes the men that are left very afraid and ''The Order of Flesh and Blood ''is the agency that represents the fear of what man has done to himself .The humanoids are all about the good of man but man's blind fears blur this until the inevitable finally happens .This film is quite good and has a lot to say , give it a try and forget about cg and effects .Just let the film take its effect on you .Approach with an open mind !
