因陋就简的探讨科技异化人性与情感，大脑移植的构想虽然不够新鲜，但借角色之口做了大量理论说教，以及较为细致的展示科技手段，能让技术宅们看出趣味，复活的巨人明显是弗兰肯斯坦怪物的现代翻版，比后者多了几分人情味。

The impressive title work is the viewer's first clue that producer William Alland and director Eugene Lourie squeezed considerable artistry and style from a shoestring budget. Look past the economic limitations; the suspenseful and imaginative story involves the death of a humanitarian genius whose father (a famous surgeon) and brother (a robotics expert) team up to keep the genius' brain alive in a robot body (well designed by ace effects artist John P. Fulton). The film's message concerns the nature of the soul and the role which physical sensations play in making humans act humane. Other affects by Fulton include one of sci-fi cinema's best death rays. All in all, a moving and intelligent movie
