Ignore the silly dramatic situations and trite idealism and keep your eyes on the fabulous special effects. They were good enough to win an Academy Award back in 1951 — no mean feat, considering The Thing and The Day the Earth Stood Still were also in the running — and still look great today. The story? Something about a rogue planet getting a little too close to Earth for comfort. With Richard Derr, Barbara Rush and Peter Hanson. Read the complete review for When Worlds Collide
An impending collision with a runaway star signals the destruction of Earth. The government refuses to listen to scientists, but private industrialists finance the building of a spaceship, which will carry a limited number of people to another planet to begin a new civilization. As doomsday approaches, they race against time and the panic of those who will be left behind. The potential pulverizing impact of the collision, the massive tidal waves and devastating earthquakes, and the final cosmic smashup make a chilling panorama of disaster. The balance between human and planetary drama is excellently maintained as the movie builds to its fascinating, unforgettable climax.
