Finn S Jan 11, 2019 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.

Rey R Jul 28, 2017 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. See more
