Ryan A This is the most underrated movie of the 1970s. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/23 Full Review Audience Member TV MOVIE. The original version of Tony Scott's awful Unstoppable. This version is actually better in every regard. ABC 10/28/1979 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member suspense, but otherwise fails... no disaster... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This made-for-TV cheesefest features a bunch of mid-level character actors doing their mid-level best with the usual disaster plot points. It's fun if completely forgettable. Shatner is great as a conman and Lloyd Bridges is bugnuts playing the Luddite Secret Serviceman. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Who cares about its dopey story? This is a surprising TV disaster movie. It boasts a terrific cast, impressive stunt photography, & excellent visual effects, especially on Shatner's hairpiece. Even his stunt double overacts! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member TV made suspense movie isn't really very good but if you're a fan of disaster movies or spoofs thereof this is one to see. It's hard to take too seriously since Lloyd Bridges' dialogue here really is a foreshadowing of his role in Airplane! As for the rest it's all pretty standard.
