Movie Reviews of When Worlds Collide
Movie Review: It is THE Classic Sci
Summary: 5 Stars
A dozen or so SciFi flicks from this period (roughly pre kubricks 2001) are influencing horror and sci fi masters of our X generation.
This movie rolls along at an exceptional clip, moving from fun to serious to tragic in nearly one clean swoop. Masterfully conducted like a Shakespearean play for the Sci fi age.
This flick is fueled by the striking similarities to the Mayan calendar end of the world scenarios coming to mass market appeal in these last 10-15 yrs.
one of only 6 5 star flicks i've reviewed for this time period..and I have review 43.
Movie Review: Great Classic Movie At A Fantastic Price!
Summary: 5 Stars
"When Worlds Collide" is one of my very favorite Sci-Fi movies. It is based on a book by the same name, co-written by Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer (which is a great book with and enjoyable sequel, "After Worlds Collide"). The movie is appropriate for all but the youngest viewers and rates highly on my family's "Lazy Saturday" movie list. The plot is fast moving, the acting is good, and the "classic" special effects are enjoyable (matte-paintings :-)
This is a bargain priced DVD for a fantastic movie! Highly recommended!
Movie Review: An excellent Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very well done classic sci-fi from the past. I read the book many years ago and have watched this before. The story line is great and this movie follows that quite well. I'm always surprised when I see sci-fi movies that are older and yet are done well. I've enjoyed science fiction movies and books almost all my life and this one sticks-to-the-ribs as a well done and enjoyable classic movie. Not a lot of graphics as in today's movies, but really doesn't require it because it is done so well.Movie Review: One of the best 50's sci-fi films
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's face it: with very few exceptions, science fiction movies don't age well in terms of the "science" part (in fact, the only exception I can think of offhand is 2001; even the original Star Wars trilogy seems a bit campy to me when I watch it now). Then again, it's never been the special effects or the scientific accuracy that made a film enjoyable to me, even though those are admirable traits. It's the characters and the story that I care about, and this movie handles both extremely well.Movie Review: A classic sci-fi movie that everyone should own....
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
