I still look at it as a gold standard in space movies. Not to mention it was based on a Shakespeare story. I became a big fan of Shakespeare in junior high school. I don’t care if they do a remake. I probably won’t watch it unless it comes on television and right in front of me, you are correct that visuals are hard to beat in that movie. And the female stereotypes in the 50s? That hasn’t changed that much.
