Normally I'm against colorization, but in the case of this picture, it doesn't really look that bad. It gives the film the look of an old tinted movie poster or lobby still.
I agree about the colorization, though I think they should have gone with a bolder palette. Vivid colors for the future, please.
As to Rand v. Wells, I always thought the miniature Utopia of Galt's Gulch was not so different from Cabal's Wings Over the World. The rule of reason, and a future society strongly regimented by a sort of communal ethic.
But the planes ARE cool, and the white streamlined helicopter even more so!
Love those bombers!
Flash Gordon's sure to be in one of them!

And H.G. Wells' and Ayn Rand's characters both gave long, windy, preachy speeches!

Well, I like to think of Cabal as closer to John Galt than to the commander of the Death Star.

Except that they stand for different ideologies. H.G. Wells was a socialist, while Ayn Rand extolled the virtues of individualism and capitalism.
I wouldn't want to live in Wells' idea of utopia. But they had some really cool-looking airplanes.

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, John Cabal is Gran Mof Tarken.
