Its lecture-dialogue stilted and ideas simplistic, 'Things to Come' is nevertheless a worthy visual experience.

ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Rating: 4 of 5 --
Everyone in this Wellsian future loves it, except for a Luddite (Cedric Hardwicke). "What is the good of all this progress?" he declares. "We demand a rest!" He's supposed to be the villain, but I find him to be the film's most sympathetic character.

Things to Come (L'avenir) is a masterclass in restraint that proves that a film does not need to be ostentatious in order to be powerful.

In the realm of 'prophetic science fiction', it is a genre landmark.

Time Out
Rating: 8/10 --
(Wells) never imagined our 21st century gadgets would be so tiny; pocket-sized streaming devices for a population more interested in gazing at navels than at stars.

Movie Metropolis
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
3 stars out of 5 -- When it came to predicting the future, Herbert George Wells was no slouch....Wells' story takes in war, plague, destruction and rebirth.
