6/10
Poor research - limited scope - repetitive

This is a series of partial trailers and sound bites. It, of course, being 1998 is a tad dated but that can be overlooked.

Several times the narrator misses the point or misinterprets the films being displayed. Occasionally, he is quite funny. However, for the most part, he makes statements like the story 1984 was made into two films; he does not state which two films: 1984 - Studio One (1953) S6 E1 Eddie Albert as Winston Smith 1984 (1954) Peter Cushing as Winston Smith 1984 (1956) Edmond O'Brien as Winston Smith Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) John Hurt as Winston smith

In the book "The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells the two races were created by economic or class differences. In the movie, it was where one chose to live (above or below ground). The narrator of this presentation said it was a class or economic problem.

We get similar misinterpretations on "The Planet of the Apes" film clips.

The actual section on H. G. Wells did a decent job of describing H. G. and his approach to authoring his novels. They did a good contrast of different versions of "The Island of Dr. Moreau."

Talking about repartition, many of the clips are used over and over again; to their credit, the narration is different over the same clip.
