And now, many have similar theories about the rapid development of the human brain. After millions of years of almost no change. POOF! Almost overnight, an incredible increase in both brain size and function.
There is a gulf between human intelligence and technology and the most intelligent animals - orangutans, crows, porpoises and that gulf developed in the last 500,000 years. It just can't be simply evolution.
The first ufo crash retrival movie that wasnt a crash retrival movie , great acting , great set , loved the fibre glass spaceship , eveyone who worked on that movie can feel proud, a cult movie in itself , what will go down as a sifi horror classic. I will probably buy the blue ray version soon. The fact we are still talking about it over 50 years later shows the old films are the best.😊❤
That's a great example of top quality writing and acting, right there. The ideas, to some, might be outrageous - but you believe every single word. This is a movie that will leave ideas in your head, for a long time after watching it. I first saw it on TV in the 1970's - my parents had seen it at the cinema in 1967, and it had freaked both of them out. I asked to see it on TV - I think I was 13 or 14 - and they both warned me just how disturbing it was. I watched it, and was blown away by it - I couldn't get it out of my head - the massive ideas behind it; the sheer creepiness of it. I loved all of it. Still do. To the point of a favourite t-shirt of mine is a graphic of the 'Hobbs Lane/Hob's Lane' street signs, and I have a 'Hobbs End' London Underground badge.
Something else.. The ability to create a device that would Change the earths atmosphere.. Well, we have ! The H Bomb . Once we've destroyed it The Alien can then return to inhabit the planet.. Maybe that was/ is their design and plan.. They've just been waiting...?!
I've ALWAYS Felt, BELIEVED, "WAY BEFORE" i even knew" about this movie, that QuarterMasse's Theory was, is, in part, true. Or even, CLOSE TO the truth. Idk, i've ALWAYS FELT that, "SOMEHOW", insects ARE Alien's, were, in "SOMEWAY", once upon a time ago, ExtraTerrestrial Beings, come from The Heavens= Different planets, Solar systems, what have you. Take the cockroach for instance, for example. That hideous creature has been on earth since time immemorable. WHY? HOW? Anywho, i TOTALLY understand where QuarterMass is going in his theory. And STILL BELIEVE to this very day. "I", Get It.
Same...I am sure Mars once had a civilization but was destroyed by something. Perhaps war, or an asteroid. I think they saw it coming and had to go to Earth.
@@charleswest6372 A better scene that points to what you just said was earlier in the film, when Quatermass is questioning Roney on what humans would do if they were confronted with the imminent destruction of Earth. His reply was, "Nothing, we'd just go on squabbling'. That makes the Martians smarter then us for sure.
I've recently discovered (I'm 70) that while I KNOW airplanes can fly, I don't really believe it. Heavier than air? Nonsense. (Shhh, shhhh, quiet down back there, look up, airplanes do fly.) Brains are fun.

What a great movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this and also the BBC serialization.
The good Colonel chose "poorly" some 22 years later.
Yes...
How so?
Got in James Bond's way too. And Queen Cersei.
@@SamuelBlack84 Indian Jones and the last Crusade. When a chalice is not the chalice.
Glover/Breen didn't choose too wisely in this Hammer film either. He meets another grisly end here too.

@@TrustNot Oh, yes it can.
@@TrustNotidk, man was essentially no different then me and you 100,000 years ago, so if given time, they too could operate our technology.

Goodluck finding it

Loved this movie! Watched it many times.
The most exciting concept in science fiction.
Makes u wonder, if such beings are still here. We know little about the universe.
Great sci-fi horror thriller. The last 20 minutes is terrifying.
Something else..
The ability to create a device that would
Change the earths atmosphere..
Well, we have !
The H Bomb .
Once we've destroyed it
The Alien can then return to inhabit the planet..
Maybe that was/ is their design and plan..
They've just been waiting...?!
(0:16) Did Colonel Breen mean "lichen"? As in, "lai·kn"? 😉
Lie-Ken not Lich-enn
You can see the overlap with Dr Who
I can remember teachers at school, in the early 1970's pronouncing it as 'Lit-chen'. I only heard the use of 'Lie-ken' some time later.
The Ancient Astronaut theory before it was popular.
Military minds harbor ineptness. Can't see the forest for the trees.
00:14 - if you are curious about which portrait on the wall:
i.pinimg.com/736x/02/eb/45/02eb4587e369dd4d20daf6698fde6f79.jpg
Looks like the one found in commonwealth countries. Saw one on the wall Turks and Caicos airport customs.
Hey, neat! Thank you!
