Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

'Without Warning' was a mock news broadcast TV movie along the same lines as Orson Wells's 'War of the Worlds' radio adaptation. Being that it was made in the mid-'90s, it doesn't know moderation when it comes to piling on the cheese! Its gimmick of being shot in the style of consistent news broadcasting for the duration falls flat in places because whereas the likes of Jane Kaszmareck (probably spelled it wrong - the mum from 'Malcolm in the Middle') provides some seriously good acting, she's then let down by the show being so unconvincing in every other way that she just looks like she's crying over the corpse of her career; that or cramps.I know it was just television and how limited it was at the time, but even the sound effects and static interference visuals were poorly done. They irritated me more than anything.Television should never try to be pantomime and nobody should be expected to call endless badly scripted talking entertainment.

If not anything else, "Without Warning" proves that a film can be memorable and highly original without being brilliant. This is by no means a masterpiece, but it fully serves its purpose and resembles a punch in the stomach when you least expect it. Didn't come up with high expectations (found it on YouTube), but the uncertainty building up throughout the film kept me watching. The ending caught me completely off guard. What makes this film so disturbing is that the story unwraps slowly, without being too explicit or over the top. By far one of the most plausible and haunting pieces apocalyptic fiction I've ever seen.

I just saw Without a Warning on TNT Latin America, and to tell you the truth at first I thought it was good, THEN, when the going went tough all the Sci-Fi cliches went online. I agree with the comment here that says that why are we suppose to be the bad guys just because we are trying to defend our own turf.Look: Someone is dropping BIG rocks on our backyard... come on, is that equal to intelligent extraterrestrial life??? I mean, that is a whale of a way to establish first contact with a new form of life.But to tell you the truth I just loved the doctor that went way over the top screaming that we just declared war on an alien race: "we are the most violent race in the galaxy"... Really? Could you tell me his sources.If this were really, really a vastly advance race trying to reach us, after the aborted first contact, what would be a logical course of action? Leave Earth alone, blockade the Solar System, wait a 100 years and lets see if the children on Earth stop playing with fire... hope they grow up after a century... mean while, lets move to the next system.

Shown 30 October, 1994, the Anniversary of the radio broadcast of War Of The Worlds, Without Warning is a tribute to the legendary radio broadcast. The film effectively represents the feel of War of the Worlds, by using a real life news anchor, Sander Vanocur, and newslike camera work. The effect was so real, that thousands of people called TV stations asking if it was real. Without Warning is a well executed salute to the War of the Worlds broadcasts of the 1930s. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in War of the Worlds, and the recent asteroid movies, Deep Impact and Armageddon.
