Karloff is as strong as ever, but the film around him is silly despite a great, and obviously influential set up. The rest of the cast isn't much but it's still a fun little film

A fun premise with a with some good actors but the third act fall flat and seems to be a unfinished film to a point. The idea is a super cool scifi but we spend so much time in court or just hanging out with other characters loosely affected by the invention the is cool but a mcguffin.

This sci fi movie has an intriguing cryonics concept. That concept drives the plot, which is cool. After a pacey start it takes some unexpected turns and becomes quite a different movie. I think it just needed a bit more time spent on character development so we could see the mental breakdown of the doctor. Other than that well acted and very entertaining. Especially given the era when it was made.
