I know this film under the title "Five million Years To Earth", and have always considered it one of the best of British science fiction. A weird mix of science fiction, horror, and thriller, this film manages to evoke the 'What if' emotion in me. Plausible enough to suspend the disbelief, yet far out, with creepy moments thrown in. Some of the best chaotic crowd scenes I have ever seen on film, plus a broad poke at the military mentality when faced with the new or unexplained.
No moralizing, or visions of alternate societies, as is common in science fiction from this era, this film is just straight up entertainment.
