This movie was made about the time the space race started, and before Star Trek etc. came on the scene. Considering that, it is a very impressive, original movie (though undoubtedly novels were written on similar themes before this). The details such as oxygen content of the atmosphere and gravitational force were neat, though how the robot makes the raw material for the other stuff it makes is not explained. All in all, though, I liked the movie, and was very impressed that such a story, importantly accompanied with some scientific detail, came out when it did. If you are a sci-fi fan, you have probably already seen it, or else you should. Though at first it might not seem so impressive to people bred on Star Wars (you have to remember when this movie was made). Another movie I want to see is Metropolis, I think that's the name, it's a silent movie :)
