When Worlds Collide (1951)-Excellent disaster movie, but...
by Keith Mirenberg (www.spaceanimations.org)
When Worlds Collide (1951) was an excellent four to five star film that almost all sci-fi buffs loved and there is little need to go into the details. Taking the story too seriously, I never agreed that the astronomers, scientists and engineers who helped design the ship had the right to select who would live and who would perish with the earth, or even the methods to be used to select the crew. As a matter of fact, I couldn't believe it when the man who paid for the giant rocket was robbed of his right to go aboard the ship his finances made possible, and left behind to rant at the sky. He had every right to complain!
4/5
First great disaster movie holds up well
by William R. Ray (Arden, NC USA)
The DVD transfer is very good. The colors are rich and detail is all there.
This is the first great disaster movie and George Pal pulled out all the stops to bring state-of-the-art special effects (Academy award winner) to the big screen. The story line also holds up. Modern audiences should find this one easy to watch and the concept of the end of the world by interstellar collision has been retold many times (Armageddon and Deep Impact being the most recent). But... this is the granddaddy of them all. There's plenty of tension as a rogue planet heads towards the Earth on a doomsday course. The attempts of scientists and a wealthy businessman to build an escape rocket are the central theme.
You might call George Pal the C.B. DeMille of Sci Fi movies. While many folks have become jaded on modern computer generated imagery, this film should still delight most audiences. The scenes of the first wave of impending disasters look pretty real. I really enjoyed watching this film.
Highly Recommended for: Family viewing except for the youngest of children and, of course, all science fiction fans.
5/5
When worlds collide
by J. Horrer (Salt Lake City UT)
This is a classic end of the world movie, the specical effects still hold up. I grew up watching this movie and other like it and now my grandkids keep asking to watch it
if you are a true scifi nut this is a must
When Worlds Collide Summary
When A Group Of Astronomers Calculate One Planet Is On Course To Pass Close Enough To The Earth To Cause Havoc On Land And Sea While A Few Days Later A Second Will Record A Direct Hit They Set About Building A Rocket So A Few Selected Individuals Can Escape To The First Of The Unwanted Intruders. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 04/11/2006 Starring: Richard Derr Peter Hanson Run Time: 83 Minutes Rating: G Director: Rudolph Mate
Winner of the 1951 Academy Award for Best Special Effects, this science fiction extravaganza set a new standard for the realistic depiction of cinematic disasters. Of course, it's a quaint curiosity by today's technological standards, but as produced by visual effects pioneer George Pal, this story of Earth's collision with a runaway star is still a dazzling example of screen sci-fi from the '50s, when special effects were entering a new stage of advancement. Despite scientists' warnings about the star's destructive potential, government officials refuse to take action that could cause international panic, but a consortium of private industrialists prepare for the worst by building a gigantic spaceship--an ark for humanity to begin life anew on a distant planet. Who will be chosen to go, and who left behind? As earthquakes roar and massive tidal waves devastate entire cities, the huge rocket prepares for take-off from its miles-long launching ramp--ready to abandon the shattered Earth! Although it's more enjoyable now as a cinematic museum piece,
When Worlds Collide
remains a milestone of its kind, leading the way for many more screen disasters that followed this movie's still-worthy example.
