Your Reviews

a highly entertaining film, for the day, not on the scale of 2001 or star wars, but perhaps on a par with war of yhe worlds or day the earth stood stilll. as was then the standard, this movie was lad... en with messages, although the message here was trust your scientists, not your politicians. life as usual was interrupted by the discovery of two rogue planets, one on a neat-miss trajectoty with earth and the second heading for a durect hit. i believe we had nine months to get out of town. the astronomers were mocked for ttheir message--the usual kill the mailman mentality. however, one wealthy ibdustrialist was prtsuadedd to fund a spaceship to transport a few hundred colovists tu the planet which would miss earth. there is a lot of similarity to the present global warming issue. i wont spoil the experience with more details. based on the novel bhe same name by balmer and wyley who also wrotr the bounty trilogy. a sequel, after worlds collide, was appaewntly never filmrd. film is slightly marred by a misubfrtstanding of weightlessness in space. it is remarkably free of pro or abti commubism/peace propaganda.
