Critic Reviews
-
Scott Nash, Three Movie Buffs
Not the greatest Disaster movie of the period, but still a fairly entertaining one.
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Silly plot, one-dimensional characters, but lots of stars (Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner) and some good, Oscar-winning special effects
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...doesn't really hold up all that well today...
-
Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
It's a disaster movie. You know what to expect.
-
Eric Lurio, Greenwich Village Gazette
a masterpiece of bad moviemaking.
