When Worlds Collide (1951)
It is kind of a cute movie in a way that it looks like an illustrated children’s book about science and the world from the 50s. I even made a few screencaps.
But talk about the PC. It’s not even funny or PC, it’s just fuckin racist. They couldn’t save one non-WASP person from the destruction of Earth and take him or her to another planet?! It is almost like this whole disaster was for a “higher” purpose of being some white filter on the human race. And I do highlight this problem because the movie is very Christiany: the whole story is kind of based on Noah and the ark, the movie starts with the image of the Bible and with the words from the Bible, the most important book that they are saving is the Bible (they probably didn’t even bring any of Darwin’s books), and the movie even ends with church music and church choir as they step onto a new Eden. And yet they couldn’t save one non-white person. Not just not save, but not appear in the movie at all that features hundreds of people. I mean Christians, where is your supposed love and tolerance of everyone that you claim you possess in superior quantities?
But I do wish this would be re-made today into a TV show. There could be lots of drama, like who do we save as a sample of humanity to re-populate the human race. Do we bring gays? And there could be a crisis: many LGBT couples splitting and claiming they have been “cured” of homosexuality, just because they are afraid, they would not be picked to be taken on a spaceship and saved from the distraction of Earth. And then there are several rockets. One is even labeled a “woke” rocket because they have some LGBT people on it. So, this other rocket that is filled with righteous Christians and funded by NRA starts shooting on this “woke” rocket while they are in space because they don’t want them to bring AIDS and other insanity induced by Fox News hysteria.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
