watching... waiting... User ID: 70163442 United States 10/24/2015 10:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | HMMMM: On Hallowe'en every year I watch an old CBS movie called WITHOUT WARNING. It concerns three impacts on Earth that share specific coordinates and how TV-news reports them live via breaking-news bulletins - the film is all done in docu-drama style and caused a bit of sensation when first broadcast on Hallowe'en night, 1994 and viewers believed what they were watching was real, ala' Orson Welles' celebrated War of The Worlds radio broadcast. I recorded my copy as it was broadcast and instead of editing out the commercials I left them intact... and every time I'd show this film to friends who'd never seen it... I'd suck them right into the storyline! The movie clicks right along and builds tension as it is revealed that a rogue NASA engineer wants to go public with the truth behind these impacts: that they are actually an alien response to years of SETI sending out messages that have -until now- gone unanswered. Then, a bigger asteroid looms large on a direct approach to Earth. The military of the world responds collectively and blasts the new intruder from the heavens, much to the NASA-guy's horror. He claims that this foolish action declares war on our new visitors and wonders if we would respond the same way should Jesus Christ return unexpectedly? He is proven correct, but it's already too late to worry about that, though... For -as the final scenes reveal- the incoming aliens decide we aggressive Earthlings are too dangerous to survive and our planet is soon blanketed by thousands of incoming bodies which end life as we know it. A fun, chilling movie that holds up well, 21 years after it was first broadcast. The complete movie is available to watch on YouTube, but is out-of-print on DVD and considered pretty collectable: a used disc sells on Amazon for $43.96 with a new one selling for $149.99! And to think I bought I my disc at WalMart for $5.00 back in 1996...!! |
