When Worlds Collide (1951) Review

Here's a 50's technicolor Sci-fi film that's pretty solid. It's about a rogue star and it's orbiting earth-like planet that are hurtling towards earth which will cause it's destruction. With no way of avoiding the apocalypse, a decision is made to build a spacecraft that will fly to the planet orbiting the rogue star and start a new life  for humans there.
Majority of the film involves all the preparation for the fight but it's livened up with some dramatic conflicts that make it a little more interesting. There's also a cool little earth destruction sequence that was really nicely done and has some fun effects.
Overall there are some very good moments here but they mostly happen in the second half and the rest of the film is perfectly fine but  nothing inspiring. It's still certainly a decent watch though.

Kaiju Fever: Gorath (1962)

This is actually a Sci-fi disaster movie with the only Kaiju in it being a giant Walrus called Maguma who is in it for all of six minutes.
The plot concerns a collapsing star called Gorath that is on a collision course with Earth, as the world leading scientists find solutions to avoiding it, including moving the earth itself by building thrusters in the South Pole (this is science fiction after all). The film also includes a message of peace and how the world should work together more in unity.
The film is pretty good overall, it has some interesting ideas and unfolds at a good pace. Some of the special effects look more dated than others, but some are still pretty cool.
it's just well made enjoyable bit of Sci-fi. ***
