a disappointing lesson learned about the limitations of amazing imagery bereft of interesting characters and narrative

Q Network Film Desk
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.

Entertainment Weekly
Menzies' visionary if eccentric adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel is fascinating both as a record of 1930s England and for its apocalyptic vision of the future.
Sight and Sound
Wells and his collaborators meant to offer a stern, though ultimately hopeful, vision of humanity’s halting progress across the century to come.
New York Times
Its lecture-dialogue stilted and ideas simplistic, 'Things to Come' is nevertheless a worthy visual experience.
