Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews WORLD WITHOUT END could tell us a good deal about the early science fiction transitioning to more recognizable modern science fiction films, but that still does not make it a particularly notable film. Rated: 5/10 Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof The film is one of the most original of that time of the fifties, and at the same time one of the most laughable. [Full Review in Spanish] Apr 10, 2020 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis Instead of being talky and boring, it's mostly talky and corny. Rated: 4/10 Feb 1, 2010 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 7, 2005 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Enjoyable, silly, cheapjack sci-fi for those in the mood.

Daniel C. M I don't really know how to properly rate this movie. It's biggest mistake presents itself in the form of ambition. It was so ahead of it's time, even came out 12 years before Planet of The Apes, which you would think the opposite case due to how similar they are. I risk in saying that if this movie was made today with a bigger budget and runtime, it would certainly be one of the greatest Sci-Fi's of all time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Cheap, amateurish, laughble, campy, plodding, Starts off with same plot as Planet of the Apes, Astronauts landing on future Earth, But only comes to life with when three attractive lonely ladies show up, Also when the astronauts fire bazookas at the mutants, that was cool. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review georgan g Not a bad premise, but holy smokes the "mutates" worn the most terrible masks! Even the radiation which made them mutants couldn't have caused that. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dave s On the positive side, World Without End is filled with effective Cinemascope cinematography and…yep, that's about it. Four astronauts experience an "exponential time displacement" and are thrust into the year 2508, where they discover an underground civilization of humans inhabited by men with hair-like helmets and a bevy of sexy women. The movie is filled with inane dialogue, weak special effects, bad sets and costumes, and horrible acting, not to mention laughable giant spiders and a race of one-eyed neanderthals who seem to spend most of their time hiding behind rocks waiting for people to jump on and toss about. This is good for a few laughs, but not much else. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review martin a An enjoyable film, the story is about a spaceship catapulted into the future and finds Earth thousands of years after a nuclear bomb went off. They find mutated humans who try to kill them and a dying race of humans underground who are too scared to venture above despite radiation levels now being low. The cast is great, the space ship in the time rift is a bit wonky! The Giant spiders are great, but sadly despite being thousands of years in the future, the women are still treated as sexual objects with skimpy skirts and dialogue, never the less it is an enjoyable film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Another of the sic-fi movies of old which don't stand up today. Probably was OK in its time Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
