A film adaptation of Čapek's utopian novel, conceptualised by director Vávra as a hallucinatory feverish dream of a genius scientist, who invented an explosive able to destroy the whole world. The suggestive tone of this anti-war drama is accentuated by its visual studio stylisation and the special effects that are quite convincing for its time. (Summer Film School)
