Even though its visuals have dated somewhat since its original release back in 1951, "When Worlds Collide" is still an interesting "End-of-the-World" Sci-Fi fable, no matter what others might say to the contrary._____ Brilliant scientist, Dr. Cole Hendron, tries to convince a doubting world that Earth is in the direct path of a rogue planet called Bellus that's about the size of our Sun. And a collision with Bellus is inevitable._____ With no time to lose, wealthy financier, Sydney Stanton, orders the immediate construction of a giant spaceship to transport selected survivors safely to a distant planet known as Zyra._____ A world lottery is held in order to determine who is to travel to Zyra on this astounding spacecraft._____ The special effects (which includes the submersion of Manhattan) won an Oscar for this impressive, technicolor, "George Pal" production._____ Just convince yourself that "When Worlds Collide" could really happen and I guarantee that you'll enjoy this thoroughly entertaining picture from start to finish.
