Interesteg What makes it different from others?

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Uriah43 A joint effort by the United States and the Soviet Union to send a nuclear powered manned flight into space results in a disaster which manages to ionize a cluster of meteors and send them on a trajectory toward earth. This causes a crises of the first magnitude as tidal waves are predicted to destroy cities near coasts all over the world. And that's just the beginning of the problem. Now, while this scenario had been done about seven years earlier in "When Worlds Collide", this film offers a different approach and succeeds (more or less) in spite of the limited budget which was spent to produce it. And although the acting certainly wasn't anything to get excited about, the special effects were pretty good considering the era this movie was made. All in all then, it's worth watching as long as people aren't expecting too much. All things considered then I rate it as about average. No more and no less.

BaronBl00d Not a bad premise at all about an eclectic group of scientists trying to send a man in space and achieving that dream only to falter in his descent by causing a bunch of meteors to gather together in one big clump and head toward Earth for its final destruction. The scientists scurry and hurry to find a way out of this doom and that is when the day the sky explodes is relevant. This movie has some things going for it. It is extremely thought-provoking - almost to the point of too much perhaps. It becomes so talky and leaden throughout and is aided by wooden performances and extremely cheap sets. Catch that rocket ship move like a snail! The acting, as I have said, is nothing particularly good nor is the direction nor is the script - which plods and plods. The film does get somewhat interesting in the last fifteen minutes or so, but by that time my eyes were almost glazing over from sleep. There are some brilliantly shot scenes despite the low budget and those were probably set up by cinematographer Mario Bava(one of the greatest horror directors of all time). You can get a sense of his visual artistry here and there, but let's face it - he hasn't much to work with. The Day the Sky Exploded has some real neat ideas but just less than compelling execution.

jhwilson9 The movie isn't half bad as long as you don't get distracted by the lips not matching the words, and as long as you accept it as a Spaghetti Sci-Fi movie (like a Spaghetti western, except in outer space). It is par for the time, the late fifties, when sci-fi in black&white wasn't supposed to be Oscar material. I like the Russian character the most. On another aspect, the English dubbing is interesting. The voice of the astronaut, McLaren, is sooooo familiar. Can anyone figure out who it is? I've heard the voice many times, as you probably have. But just can't come up with the name. It will probably come to me in the middle of the night. I just hope I remember to write it down. I wish there was a way to make a contest out of this.

vtcavuoto I think one of the most disappointing things in this film is the role of John McLaren.It's the same actor(Paul Hubschmid, who is sometimes billed as Paul Christian) from "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms". For one thing, it's not even his voice in the dubbing! He seems emotionless 95% of the time. Other character development is only so-so.I did get a kick out of all the old machinery. The plot was OK but not original. The movie seemed to just plod along without much in the way of action. The cinematography was very good(from Italy's Mario Bava).I expected much more from this movie but the fact that I only paid $5.00 for it makes it a little better for me to tolerate. I wish this movie was as good as I anticipated.
