When Time Ran Out...

Yet more proof if any were needed that a good cast and moderate budget don't always deliver the goods. Very bad in parts with corny dialogue, poor special effects and costumes clearly straight out of Woodstock. Think the land that time forgot meets the partridge family seasoned with a little of the Posiaden adventure.

Another entry in the all-star disaster movie genre; not up to the gold standard of hilarity of other such films, but this does present Buttons' hilarious power-walking (Kel Knight eat your heart out!), a lunatic death via an overstuffed helicopter, blind Borgnine flailing helplessly, and Holden and Newman vieing for the affection of Bisset (though Holden gives up the chase with remarkable ease). Climax with Meredith tightroping over a broken bridge is also good for a giggle.

I wouldn't give it the awful low scores others have. Basically, the last of the 1970s all-star disaster movies, this time involving a volcano. It had a few redeeming moments and intense scenes.

"Good" bad at it's best.

one of my childhood nightmares. I saw it on tv when I had a high temperature. How ironic!

Apparently time ran out soon after the writers did.
