When Worlds Collide2008-12-28
I love this Sci-Fi. I have seen it many times. This DVD format version is excellent. I think very well worth purchasing.
When Worlds Collide is Awesome!2008-12-06
The 50's are known for great sci fi movies, but When Worlds Collide is perhaps the best. Great special effects and a good story with good acting makes this a must. Plus, it is one of the only movies where the earth is destroyed- perfect.
Fun Sci-Fi Classics2008-09-30
I loved the book (and it's sequel, After Worlds Collide) when I was young. The movie is certainly not as good, but still a lot of fun. Its too bad they never made a movie of the sequel.
Early George Pal2008-08-26
After DESTINATION MOON and just before WAR OF THE WORLDS, Pal's adaption of The Phillip Wylie/Edwin Balmer classic is, itself, a classic. Effects that were top of the line for the early 1950's but may seem abit lame to today's viewers. The grand daddy of all disaster movies, this is one film it would be interesting see it remade with CGI. Still an wonderfully entertaining film. Have to admit, except for John Hoyt as a ruthless cripped millionaire (his man servant is played by a guy whose name escapes me who ended up in either Petticoat Junction or Green Acres) and Barbara Rush I can't think of anything else I've seen the rest of the cast in.
Great Classic Movie At A Fantastic Price!2008-07-26
"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!
