At first, it's a corny, B-movie attempt at suspense, which is amusing. Then it turns into a drama, briefly but tediously. Finally, he shrinks to a few inches tall, and it becomes an adventure. That part is great - clever and exciting - but they sure take a long time getting there. Oh, and then there's the ending. What the hell is that ending?

Existentialism goes pop in this benchmark of atomic-age science fiction, a superlative adaptation of a novel by the legendary Richard Matheson that has awed and unnerved generations of viewers with the question, What is humanity₂s place amid the infinity of the universe? Six months after being exposed to a mysterious radiation cloud, suburban everyman Scott Carey finds himself becoming smaller⁵ and smaller⁵ and smaller until he₂s left to fend for himself in a world in which ordinary cats, mousetraps, and spiders pose a mortal threat, all while grappling with a diminishing sense of himself. Directed by the prolific creature-feature impresario Jack Arnold with ingenious optical effects and a transcendent metaphysical ending, The Incredible Shrinking Man gazes with wonder and trepidation into the unknowable vastness of the cosmic void.

The screenplay is by Richard Matheson, and based on his novel The Shrinking Man. The ending is both obvious (after the fact) and mind-blowing as the hero transcends his limitations and himself--there really wasn't another movie ending like this until" 2001: A Space Odyssey."
Most of Jack Arnold's SF films are worth watching--he is a genuine auteur with a distinctive style and characteristic elements that populate his work. He went on to do quite a lot of different kinds of film and tv work, but his 50s SF and Horror movies put him in a league of his own.
It took forever for this to be available in DVD, and this Bluray is a Spanish import--the packaging and menu are in Espanol, and you have to manually adjust it for the original English version, but once you do that it's fine, (
