I am partial to older movies such as "When Worlds Collide,"
because the acting and limited technology were more crucial to
making an interesting movie. You have to try to place yourself in
the movie's time period and in the characters' environment before
making judgment.
Having done so, I believe this movie is a "thumbs-up" for carrying
out a lengthy story line in just 86 minutes. The actors all made up
for the absence of modern, computer-generated graphics and
second-class props, by today's standards. And they did a good job
of bringing to life the human problems and issues that would arise
in similar situations if their predicament happened today.
I first saw this movie in 1960 at the age of six. It blew me away
then. And today, I still enjoy watching it, but I have to remind myself
about my previous comments and put myself back in the movie's
time zone.
This is a good Sci-fi movie for its time. Sit back, grab a bucket of
popcorn and a soda, and go back to the early 1950s if you can.
Then let the movie do the rest.
