In 10 years time (2026) the silent-era, Sci-Fi, classic, Metropolis will be 100 years old - And by sheer coincidence the year 2026 is also the same date in which this film's story is set. If nothing else - I think that it's interesting to see (through the eyes of the film Metropolis) how (100 years into the future) man's world was perceived to be. Over the last 15 years - I have watched this picture 3 times - And I do have to agree with others, that without its incredible set designs and the presence of one of the most fantastic robots imaginable, Metropolis would, pretty much, be a very ordinary and, yes, humdrum production. But, with that said - From a purely historical point of view - I do recommend this film to one, and all. (*Be sure to watch "robot" video-clip*)
