Great end of the world flick

When Worlds Collide has all the ingredients of a great movie for the year that it was made. The actors were great. The story is scary when you start to think that this can happen. The ending was excellent. Not a happy ending for mother earth but not all end of the world movies should have the earth been saved. I bought the movie and seeing it many time and still like it.

A classic sci-fi movie that everyone should own....

This is a wonderful sci-fi movie! The world is about to be destroyed.... can a few get away? How does the rest of the world react? Does everyone believe what will happen? It's a bit campy but certainly makes you wonder what you would do if the end of the world was coming.... The only thing weird about the movie is that there was never a single non-white character....even for a 1950 or 60 movie, that seemed weird to me.... all the characters are played well and I love it!

When worlds collide

this is a classic. thanks to Amazon for offering the movie on dvd. It is a very interestig movie in showing what could happen with mass hysteria developing in the end.

No doomsday for Barbara

I could go on and on about this movie. About the silly aspects (Richard Derr's South African-ness, the to-the-second timing of the gravitational effects, the so-obvious painting of the landscape). About the serviceable acting. About the B-movie production values. About the less-than-successful special effects.

In a pleasanter vein, I could go on even longer about the loveliness of Barbara Rush and her unappreciated acting talents.

Besides Barbara, this movie's good points are it's thoughful plot with good characterizations and conflicts. It's a successful blend of exposition and adventure. And, it's a good procedural for the ending of the world.

A lot of the thoughfulness was inherited from the British novel it was based on. But the novel was less colorful than the movie, so I'm glad for this incarnation. Especially, since this film freezes the youthful Barbara Rush in Old Hollywood's saturated color for men to dream on -- like some distant heavenly object.

When science tells a tall tale..

A runaway star has tossed a few planets into our solar system. The second planet will slam into the Earth, destroying all right after the first alien planet does a close bypass, causing destruction and confusion.
Scientists try to warn the governments but they fail to react, fear a panic, and the men of science turn to private businesses, who have the wealth, the smarts and the wish to survive. Doomsday gets nearer and nearer, mankind runs against time and fight off the fall of civilization as they build a spaceship to escape the doomed world.
Great movie, while a tad outdated, I only took away a star because the DVD had very little in the way of extras. Nothing but the theatrical trailer. The DVD could hold so much more.
