A Must See Science Fiction Classic
This is in the top ten category for collector's of classic sci-fi movies. Having read the book, it's interesting to take note of what the director left in, took out, and altered in order to bring the story to the big screen. Watching young and beautiful Barbara Rush in one of her earlier movie roles is a plus also.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

QUALITY LETDOWN
"BRAND NEW", NEVER USED, OR OPENED". The packaging was intact, "as were the scratches and fingerprints" on the DVD. I finally watched the DVD with great anticipation; great movie, until the final climactic scene when the DVD JUST STOPPED. I tried to fast forward which didn't work, and then took it out of the machine, put it back in, and used scene selection to arrive at the same spot where it stopped, and once again, the "BRAND NEW" DVD JUST STOPPED. I used a cleaner but that did not help it play, although the fingerprints came off. There were scratches at the outer end of the disc, and within the body, and also finger prints, that were not mine. I am always very careful opening new dvds and I immediately inspect them. I was quite surprised at what I found. I played another dvd right after When Worlds Collide, (Destination Moon), and that dvd played with no problems.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A Strong Classic
Not a bad classic Si-Fi movie. Plot is OK. Color is good. Special effects are good for the time. Probably a must have for people who enjoy watching old classice Si-Fi movies.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good popcorn movie.
The movie's premise is intriguing and entertaining, if you allow for its time period (1951), and suspend your high-school knowledge of astrophysics. The movie spins around two plots [A rogue planet zooming past earth, and then a collision with its runaway star. The second plot involves building rocket ship to colonize to the new world, and the selection of the colonists), and a sub-plot (a love-triangle). The movie's sfx are "good" for 1951 (though it could use some CGI). You see various catastrophes on earth, as the the planet "Zyra" passes it, then it's star, "Bellus," collides and obliterates earth, ending all life on it. The rocket journeys to Zyra, and in end scene we see the alien but welcoming world. NOTE: Zyra's horizon looks like a drawing, with no sign of animal life. This needs to be updated. Still, the movie is a George Pal production (War of the Worlds, The Time Machine) and is entertaining. It also is a good excuse to microwave some butter popcorn. Enjoy!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A brilliant, intelligent sci-fi adventure from the early fifties.
When Worlds Collide is a delightful, entertaining bit of speculative fiction about the end of the world which utilizes the -- then unique -- perspective that the demise of mankind might not be caused by the foibles of man himself, but by the indifferent forces of nature. Despite the sci-fi premise, this is very human story that deals less with the mechanics of the threat than with people's attempts to deal with the impending crisis. It is a story that focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of humankind as it faces its inevitable extinction. It's an intelligent story, an emotional story, an exciting story...one of the few sci-fi films of the era in which technology is not depicted as the enemy, but rather as our only hope. Entertaining and thought-provoking from start to finish.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

It Could Happen?
I loved this movie when it first came out back in the Stone Age. It's a movie about how people would react when the end of Earth is near. When it originaly came out special effects for movies were not that great. The story makes it worth it if you love Classic Sci-Fi.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

If you enjoy 50's SciFi you'll probably enjoy When Worlds Collide.
Good SciFi. Doesn't match Today's flash & bang movies, but it's about as entertaining to me as it was when I first watched it back in the late 1950's.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
