Still a gripping drama
19 April 2020
This was the first film I ever watched on a colour television over 40 years ago and I found it quite frightening. A recent viewing was less traumatic not least because a lot of disaster movies have passed under the bridge since then. However, on the plus side the action starts straight away and never really lets up and the special effects are still pretty good even for pre-CGI. On the minus side, the plot is very derivative, the dialogue is pretty dire and some of the acting is wooden enough to have braced the bulkhead. However, if you have never seen it, look out for it, I don't think you will be disappointed.
