    Not up to par with the original Airport or even Airport 1975. The storyline weakens (guess airport security was pretty lax in those days). How a 747 can crash land in the water and stay in one piece and THEN only sinks 100 feet or so in the bermuda triangle off the Atlantic Oc...( read more)ean is unplausible, but one has to suspend belief I guess! Jack Lemon is no Dean Martin (or Charlton Heston for that matter). A weaker "all-star" cast than the original, this story does have some suspense to it if you can simply disregard the obvious holes in this catostraphic scenario. An ok watch only...

    This movie was a little less than the first 2 but still ok to watch

    Not that bad. A diferent kind of adventure. It's not about the flying. It's about being trapped under water. Interesting to see Christoffer Lee not act as a villian and Lemmon not in a comedy. And anything with James Stewart is worth a look right?

    Excellent movie. Very realistic one. The acting is glamorous. I like that scene where the airplane is falling down. When it crashes on the water it seems very real or real, to finish or to say the final is glamorous too.
    For 1977 this film was extremely suspenseful. A great cast...( read more), good special effects (for 1977) and a somewhat good storyline, make this film the only Airport sequel that could easily stand up to the original. Excellent peformances by Jack Lemmon and Lee Grant.

    Good clean fun in the seventies under the sea.
    It's a mystery though, how all decent black people are seroiusly injured and drunk stupid white people lives on without a scratch.

    More ridiculous than the first two in concept, but no less entertaining than the first sequel. The first one is still the best.

    Ugh...I hate those cheesy disaster flicks.
