While the filmmakers and those involved say they were not happy with the title, it feels more than apt. The whole thing is quite the Science Fiction movie and considering the time it was made, this is quite extraordinary. Having animals involved was not easy, making this interesting with a lot of inner dialog spoken out or quite a few silent scenes is also quite the achievement.
Some of the effects may feel dated, but this still holds up and if you like the genre, you should watch this for sure. And if you have the time (and the money), get the Critierion Collection which adds a lot of bonus material to your viewing pleasure.
