4/5 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

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.
