Movie Reviews of When Worlds Collide
Movie Review: Classic SF at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
When Worlds Collide is one of the finest science fiction offerings of the 1950s. It is the product of two great producers, Cecil B. DeMille and George Pal, and it is an excellent testiment to their work. The storyline is superb, the matte paintings beautiful, and the acting excellent.
Summary of When Worlds Collide
Earth is threatened by a collision with a runaway star. Private industry builds a space ship to take colonists to a new planet to start a new civilization.Genre: Science Fiction
Rating: G
Release Date: 28-MAR-2006
Media Type: DVD
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. --Jeff Shannon
