Aliens alter the earth's environment as preparation to invade the earth but in the end decide not to invade and go back to their own planet leaving the earth to explode. A scientist and his wife get involved with the aliens who include six nuns and a cloned double of a priest. I think that is the plot but am not sure. It has the makings of a cult film but lacks anything of interest above the banal. Calamities are referred to but not shown until the end when stock footage comes into play. (The lava flow looked very familiar.) It also moves slowly. Very slowly.
It has a great cast. Christopher Lee! Dean Jagger! Lew Ayres! Macdonald Carey! Sadly these fine professionals all suffer under a terrible script and turgid direction. The scientist Andrew Boran is played by Kirk Scott and is indeed boring. Sue Lyon as his wife doesn't fare much better. Simmy Bow plays 'Diner Owner' which I only mention because of the actor's cool name.
You would expect a film called 'End Of The World' would be thrilling but it is rather tedious. Not with a bang but a whimper.
