There are so many things wrong with this movie. A planet a billion miles away is hurtling toward earth, along with its sun. Scientists predict the precise day and hour of its arrival, and sure enough, it's there at precisely 1:00 pm.
Good thing they had months to prepare... they built a huge spaceship, ten years before the first astronaut went into space. No test flights.. and 40 people and a few farm animals were slated to be hustled off to the new planet. Why? Because with the arrival of the new planet and its tiny planet sized sun, earth and every living thing on it would be destroyed. Why everything on the new planet wasn't destroyed on its light speed billion mile journey with its faithful tiny sun in tow, is never mentioned.
Anyway, as if this isn't stupid enough, all the people are white and the only disabled wheelchair bound person is a complete nasty, hateful, crabby guy who gets killed. So... only whites and non disabled people allowed. Hitler would have loved it.
What else? The leading man, who is supposed to be a total chick magnet, looks just like a grown up Eddie Haskell from Leave It to Beaver. So... the movie ends with the white flight landing on a snow covered terrain, with green fields on the horizon and alien architecture to the left. Oh, and the professor's daughter, who was engaged to a handsome young doctor, immediately dumped him for the Eddie Haskell guy.
