		The section showing the sky full of aircraft coming to bomb 'Everytown' proved to be prophetic to the exact year as 4 years after the film was made, the sky over the UK was full of thousands of German aircraft coming to cause as much damage and loss of life as possible.
		Things To Come was the absolute 1st sci-fi movie I had ever seen on TV waaaayback,and got me into the genre,without I don't know.

		Lasers, he remarked, have not yet been used as weapons per se—the Airborne Laser is still in development—but have yielded huge advances as target designators, in communications, in laser gyros for navigation, and in their application as optical readers.
		Visionaries have suggested swarms of tiny robots the size of bees searching a landscape for enemies or mines, but a more near-term application will be very small actuators that can cut weight on an aircraft, or airfoils that can adapt their shape at the touch of a button.

	Things to Come - The Gutlohn Print
		Comparison with other contemporary films shows that their quoted running times are recorded correctly, so there are no grounds to uniquely doubt the accuracy of the Things to Come entry, and the logical conclusion that at least 24m 31s are missing.
		It is significant that while there are other scenes absent from the 92m version that appear in the Stover script, but are still missing from the Gutlohn print, this is the first example of material that does not also appear in the Film Story, suggesting that it was a very late addition to the narrative.
		Because 820 and 825 are essentially the same view of the Little Girl, their loss is visually as well as narratively jarring, so it seems likely that this is the result of damage to the "original" source print, from which all the others are descended.

	Things To Come
		The saddest thing is that many Christians who are blind to the need to maintain Protestantism regard these dear folks as nutters and extremists.God has even shown me that some modern day believers will take the view that Protestants deserve to be interned for their extremism!
		And they have their pet escape doctrine to fall back on, which says they are going to get bailed out before the jackboots come marching down their street.
		Now, if you think God is happy with that, you don't know Him.And don't tell me I am exaggerating things or even inventing this; I have heard the sheer contempt of people in both camps toward the other, to say nothing of the back catalogue of tapes, books etc by people sniping at each other.

	Things to Come (1936)
		What many readers who come to H.G. Wells through his science-fiction do not realize is that after around 1905, Wells fairly much abandoned the scientific romances that made his name and are his most popular works.
		[Wells is uncannily predictive of the coming of WWII, seeing it as starting in Christmas 1940 (whereas the real one began in September 3, 1939), although is slightly less accurate in saying that it would last 66 years].
		The concept that worried Lang and von Harbou of there having to be a necessary unskilled working class to build the shining city of the future is something that never ever dawns upon the horizon of Wells's conception, in his society there are apparently no labour classes.
