Synopsis:
Omnipotent aliens arrive to save humanity from self-destruction. Under their benign gaze, war, famine and injustice become things of the past. But a small group of people are beginning to question whether this "Golden Age of Man" comes at a secret and terrible price. And when the Supervisor for Earth, Karellen, finally reveals his true form to the world, the sight is as profound as it is disturbing.

Good adaption - Childhood's End review by GS

Spoiler Alert
06/12/2018

I read the original novel, which was set in the early 1950's. This is a good updated version. In the original novel the extra-terrestrials appear when humankind (the Americans and Soviets specifically) are just starting spaceflight. In this version it is because they are on the verge of inter stellar flight. Some of the subplots have been very well amalgamated.

Arthur C Clarke for fans of Atlas Shrugged - Childhood's End review by RC

Spoiler Alert

Truly awful.

American exceptionalism is rife in what was written as an internationalist story. Don't bother.
