In a radiation-scarred, post apocalyptic society, the few humans who have survived have relegated the "po folks" work to humanoids, artificially created beings. Recent models of humanoids have been more "human like" creating social problems (i.e., romance with humans). Humans, fearful of their status, wish to keep the "inferior" humanoids "in their place." The gravest danger: most humans are sterile from the radiation; and they fear being supplanted by the humanoids. This film is a cross between BLADE RUNNER and PLANET OF THE APES, with greater similarities to the latter.
Now, what do you do when you are a sci-fi producer with a very limited budget in the low tech days of the 1960s? Well, you can fill the movie with action or talk. Action also costs money; and, if you have a "serious" (read: pretentious) subject (bigotry), action would "cheapen" your message. So, of course, what other choice have you than talk? That's what fills CREATION OF THE HUMANOIDS, talk, talk, talk; almost endless talk. It wouldn't be so bad if the viewer had some talented name actors to watch, or even some clever dialogue. CREATION OF THE HUMANOIDS has neither. I'd give it a B+ for message, a C- for execution.
