I like it quite a bit

OK, one can smile a bit at its technological shortcomings, outlandish costumes, and the sometimes over-the-top acting of the time - but its seriousness of approach to human behavior, values and ideas puts most other movies to shame IMHO. Yes, I would like to see it colorized too - especially now since I imagine that AI could do a pretty fine job of the colorization.

Great score BTW by Arthur Bliss, and the story is by H. G. Wells, who also wrote the screenplay - although I think that he eventually needed a bit of help. I like this YouTube comment too:
H.G. Wells was the founder of modern science fiction, and yet, while his visions have tread on the fantastic more than the works of contemporary Jules Verne did, they have come true in ways that most people wouldn't have imagined. If one were to look more closely at his prophecies - especially in the book and film version of THINGS TO COME. . . some of [his predictions/prophecies] aren't so far-fetched, and, chillingly, have become a matter of fact as regarding human civilization's accomplishments and failures, wonders and terrors, and the meaning of our existence.
Here's the rather lengthy trailer:
