Rating:  - An insult to disaster movies
Trouble's brewing on a tropical isle: Oilman Paul Newman has just struck oil, but what's that funny smell? Turns out the island's long-dormant volcano is about to blow. When it does, half of the folks stay at the hotel (read: Lava Target Cental) while Newman takes a small band across the island to a safe spot. Will they make it?
This movie is just terrible in every respect. Clearly, producer Irwin Allen (The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno) had lost his creative spark ... Read More
Rating:  - When Audiences Stayed Home
As the 70s came to an end, the disaster movie limped its last with the likes of the cheesily enjoyable Meteor, the not-so-enjoyable City On Fire (no, not that one) and the truly WTF? Airport '79 before 1980's When Time Ran Out... aka The Day the World Ended aka Earth's Final Fury finally sounded the death knell for both the genre and Irwin Allen's career. The 'Master of Disaster's volcano movie is no Dante's Peak. It's not even a Devil At 4 O'Clock. Instead, it's everything you would possibly expect ... Read More
Rating:  - "when the magic ran out" ,or not that bad
OK, this did in the careers of the director and producer Irwin Allen(nether would bring another film to the big screen) it really is just another rerun of all the disaster movies of the 70's , they just went once to often to the well. Still if in the right frame of mind this silly movie is fun to watch as in the first 5 minutes you can figure out who lives and who dies. If disasters are your kind of movies then you might like this one.
Rating:  - A timeless classic!
When i saw this movie, i thought it was one of the best movies ever made by Irwin Allen. Once i had found it on video, it wasn't the original movie. They added footage for the video release. Which made it all more interesting to watch. If they ever release it to DVD it would be nice to see it in both formats. The original uncut version, and this extended edition.
It would indeed be a classic to enjoy!
Rating:  - Entertaining Irwin Allen Movie
This being Irwin Allen's last big screen movie, I think it was pretty good. No, it is not "The Poseidon Adventure" or "The Towering Inferno", but it is fairly entertaining. Paul Newman, Jacquelyn Bissett and Edward Albert look great! The special effects are pretty good and the action can be quite intense occasionally. If you love the "master of disaster", don't pass this one by. Hope it comes to DVD soon along with "Beyond The Poseidon Adventure".
