Without Warning (1994)

Finally

I saw this movie on TV when it originally aired and did not tape it. I have since been trying to find it, and not remembering the name have been unable to find it. I stumbled upon it today and am now waiting for Amazon to get more. If you love this type of movie - disaster, end of the world movies you're going to love this one. May 19, 2008

Boring!

This is the most boring movie I have seen in long time, is like watching the news for hours,except that the subject doesn't change. you could easily fall asleep. December 10, 2007

Not quite in the absolutely horrible category, but pretty close .....

I bought this movie because I was told that some people thought the events portrayed were as real as believed when War of the Worlds aired. My response to that statement would have to be 'oh, gimme a break!'

This film revolves around the news coverage of supposed asteroid strikes and evolves into possible alien contact. It's left rather fuzzy whether said contact was friendly or unfriendly but, in the end, it ends up not mattering in the least.

The "news coverage" was laughable. It makes me want to see all the depicted evicts happen for real and get covered by CNN. ;-P

The saving grace of this movie was its ending when we're led to believe that we've been asteroided out of existence. At least I *think* that was the general idea. So there, planet Earth, take that!

Want to snicker through the hour and a half or so of this mess? Go for it. It would be worth it if only to imagine such events really happening and how news coverage would really evolve. ;-)

It's the end of the world as we know it...

This film used "The War of the Worlds" radiocast as a format. Sander Vanocur and Bree Walker played themselves doing a newscast of an series of events. Several other reporters played themselves as well. This film also featured a pre "Malcolm in the Middle" Jane Kaczmarek as an expert commentator and a pre "Q" (Star Trek) John de Lancie as a field reporter.

I remember that CBS ran notices that what we were seeing was not real at every commecial break. This film is fun and a little thought provoking: do we make sure we understand what we are responding to before we respond?

Now....can someone dig up "Special Bulletin" and put that out on DVD?
