One of the best disaster films ever made.
Possibly the best disaster movie of all time. Great cast, excellent effects and a fantastic story. This movie will thrill you.
Takes a long time to get going but once it does it’s pretty good, although does not age very well.
Probably the second best 70’s disaster film. Actors are phenomenal, editing is impeccable, effects are top notch, and the writing is crisp.
Shows how you handle a giant cast and simple premise. Hugely important movie milestone.
Great visual effects and an all around spectacle film with a jam packed cast
Decent disaster drama thriller movie, worth a watch
pretty good film for its time, there's been better disaster movies of recent times but it's still a good watch
The fire effects from the early 70s set the standard for later films like Backdraft
Very intense breathtaking 70s disaster movie with some cool special effects
