This was as far as I know the last of the big disaster films before their revival in the 90's. I can see why. The direction is awful. The acting is wooden. It's a special effects film without any special effects to speak of. A great cast is wasted by a director. The script that had my laughing incessantly, though the film is intended as a drama. The production values on this films are abysmal. They obviously spent all the money on the cast and couldn't afford real sets, or writers. This movie has such cheap and unrealistic sets, I thought I was watching an episode of gilligan's island, only to find out it was a studio release. Not worth buying or renting but if it's on TV you might want to watch if you're a bad movie buff since it's unintentionally hysterical. It's that bad. Worst disaster movie I've seen. Since the genre is full of bad films, that's saying a lot.
