      WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE~THE GRANDDADDY OF ALL MOVIES ALIKE

    This movie rightly deserved the Awards it earned for special effects, for it is far ahead of it's time, as this movie was the fore-runner to all of the catastrophic films we have today. This film is very much worth viewing, and it has been recently resurected to DVD format.

    The movie shows an impending Collision With Earth and A Runaway Star which
    signals the destruction Of all mankind, the government turns a deaf ear, ignoring the pleas of the scientist. Meanwhile private companies finance the building of a spaceship, which will carry a select few 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.
