January 9, 2007The commercial success of the likes of The Towering Inferno and The Poseidon Adventure inspired a slew of increasingly absurd disaster movies, and this is one of the most ridiculous. One of those films that's so bad it's funny.

November 25, 2009This was a sci fi "B" movie if ever there was one...Watch if you've got nothing better to do"

November 17, 2009Just awful movie with inept "special" effects and a host of usually fine actors giving atrocious performances. Katharine Ross in particular is terrible, beyond wooden to postiively inert but Caine is hardly better. The only one who is seemingly trying to earn his paycheck is Rich...( read more)

March 15, 2009This film was utterly stupid and at times seemed more like a comedy. Probably the worst film i have seen Michael Caine in. I have a phobia of bees but this film was silly.

November 18, 2008the way i saw it wasn't an interesting film. It's a vintage movie with poor special effects also some of the acting here is poor. The other is theres far too many action as they try to get rid off bees.

September 25, 2007Another lame disaster movie featuring the battle of man
versus beast. And they had a lot of these type films that came right after the huge success of Steven Spielburg's 1975 runaway hit "Jaws". Irwin Allen,however trying to capture the success of "The Towering Inferno" with this movie. And this time around Irwin Allen is in the director's chair for this one. However,it was a boxoffice failure. Horrible! The wasted talents of Michael Caine,
Katherine Ross,Richard Chamberlain,Olivia de Havilland(who was lured back into movies from retirement after a 30 year absence)not to mention getting Irwin Allen himself in an pathetic acting role.
