When Worlds Collide DVD

 Classic End of the World
If you are one of those George Pal movie buffs, this is a definite for your collection. Obviously dated today and would be an incredible remake but for now good old fashioned fun. My only regret is the animation of the new world at the end. But some great effects of the era and and old fashioned fun.

 Classic Sci-Fi
"When Worlds Collide" is one of the best Doomsday movies from the 50's. This DVD looks great. The George Pal production hits all the right notes. Lets hope that the Spielberg remake scrubs up as well in 55 years.

 When Worlds Collide vs. Deep Impact
If you are a science fiction buff, you will really enjoy "When Worlds Collide." The movie is dated but I think it is one of the things that makes it really charming. So charming that it was re-made as "Deep Impact", Morgan Freeman. Take a look at both movies and you will see what I mean. By the way the color of this George Pal production is spectacular.

 30 Days to Bella
Who could possible forget that frantic pace, when seeing the sign counting down until Bella hits the earth? In my mind, what makes it Science Fiction, isn't the topic, it's that mankind today isn't capable of pulling together for the survival of a few. Too much of a "ME" world.

 A Pioneer Classic in Sci-Fi Disaster Films
The first time I saw this film I was just a kid, about 9 or 10 years old. (I'm 41 now) and at that time it blew me away. I forever remembered the famous "lottery scene" and how only 40 people could live, and go aboard the spaceship and travel to the moon that was detected orbiting the planet that was about to collide with earth. It stuck in my mind of the sorrow I had in the end of who was left behind. It made a big impression on me then in '73 or '74 when I saw it. I never did get to see it again until now, after finding it on-line here at CD Universe. I sat through it again over 30 years later, and though much antiquated in its special effects (it did win the Academy Award in 1951 for best special effects) it still contains the weight of one of the best classic sci-fi disaster films ever made, and was one of the true pioneers of sci-fi natural disaster films. Here you'll see it all: earthquakes, tidal waves, a planet moving on a collision course to smash into earth, human drama, and a few likable characters. I highly recommend this film for classic sci-fi aficionados, nostaliga buffs, or those fasinated with films that reflect things that quite possibly could come to pass.
