An average movie

Posted : 12 years, 10 months ago on 3 June 2011 10:20

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a decent a cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Even though Burt Lancaster really disliked the whole thing, it was actually better than I expected and I thought it was actually a decent watch. Above all, I particularly enjoyed how they displayed the work in the airport, I thought it was quite realistic and rather well done. Unfortunately, they spent a good chunk of the running time dealing with the personnal life of the airport workers and, even though it was expected in a disaster feature like this one, it did turn the whole thing into some kind of  cheap soap opera which was too bad. Anyway, since  it was a big box-office hit when it was released, they kept making some sequels (3 in total) but I haven't seen any of them. On the other hand, I’m not sure if they are really worth a look but maybe I will check them out at some point. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of this flaws, it was still an entertaining flick and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
