Monthly Film Bulletin
Things to Come is an unusual picture, a fantasy, if you will, with overtones of the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon comic strips. But it is, as well, a picture with ideas which have been expressed dramatically and with visual fascination.

Rating: 8/10 --
As troublesome as Wells' philosophy may be, especially his faith in technocracy, Things certainly helped urge the medium into a new era - another Nation's Birth of artistry, and ignorance.

5 stars out of 5 -- [With] some stunning design and imagination....Quite amazing...
Ultimate DVD
This is England's first $1 million picture. It's an impressive but dull exposition of a bad dream.
