When Worlds Collide 07/09/24

Paramount gives us a stand-alone release of its newest remaster of George Pal’s visionary, ambitious and amusingly dated Sci-fi epic followup to his smash hit Destination Moon. It’s the classic fantasy, first considered for Cecil B. De Mille, of a ‘space ark’ built to spare a tiny group of humans from a cataclysmic End of the World. The Technicolor is bright and the spaceship design is awesome in what has become a modern fable. The framing story is a straight-up Bible prophecy — but the movie’s Sci-fi core worships secular science and technology. This is the video remaster that corrects the film’s color design for the Space Ark launch sequence. On Blu-ray from Paramount.
