Steve D Who blackmailed the cast into this and how? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review BMCO K Camp-free yarn with game straight faced performances by a mix of huge stars and some familiar TV faces. Still, it's all ludicrous TV-movie melodrama, really. Hold on to your hat for the nonstop garbage-fest that is Airport '79. That's the one to watch for Mystery Science Theatre 3000 level awfulness. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/01/21 Full Review Audience Member Not a perfect movie, but better than most disaster flicks. Solid acting and a reasonable plot, if you ignore the ridiculous sequence of the actual crash. Certainly better than that Pierce Brosnan volcano movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Still carries the disastrous chronicles' impressive scale with an interesting circumstance that generates medical drama and thrills while the characterization is more decent than the previous bunch but the focus is rather unbalanced amid the overdone reaping, despite being close to the original flow. (B) (Full review TBD) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Great ensemble cast in another fun Airport film. The thrills are really starting to dwindle though. While the stakes are high, it doesn't have the sense of urgency that a situation like this should. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/02/19 Full Review Audience Member With the previous two films being generally set in reality and being quite serious in how the disasters were portrayed despite a general campy tone to the script this second sequel throws all of that out of the window. This film expects us to believe that a 747 can hit an oil rig at full speed, lose only power to one engine and then crash uncontrollably into the ocean and come out of all of that in near perfect condition. Now yes suspension of disbelief is something that is required with a lot of disaster films but when the physics are so obvious and well known concerning planes crashing into water (successful attempts are rare) I find it hard to suspend my disbelief. It does however set up a film that is mostly entertaining despite having the least interesting cast of the series, it is enjoyable seeing the Navy prepare and enact their rescue operation, the score is decent, the set pieces are fun and there are a couple of tense scenes as the plane begins to flood. The lack of realism however does undermine the film just enough to annoy but at least it is far from the worst that the disaster genre had to offer from the seventies.
