I have only just recently rewatched this classic and it is as good today as the first day I saw it.
I love the setting of this, back in the 50's during the height of cold war tension and fear of alien invasion.
This movie has a great balance, just enough character development, enough action scenes and enough tension to keep you glued for the hour and a half play time.
It is aimed at kids for sure but adults would enjoy watching this one just as much.
The characters are all endearing that you really get attached to them. The bad guy is less evil and more of an authoritarian trying to do their job regardless of emotions involved. It makes for a fun movie for all ages.
