Worst movie I've seen since Ganja and Hess. It's like they took the most boring people in the world and tried to make the most boring disaster movie in the world and largely suceeded. First of all, there is no good reason for any of the people on board the Britannic, that's right, to be taking a cruise when the weather is english gray and about 50 degrees. The entertainment coordinater looks like he was borrowed from a childrens tv show. The hellish lack of fun is the "disaster" here. We see a group of long haired musicians, but we never meet them and learn anything about them, the camera just occasionaly gawks at them. amidst endless british mumbling
In case you weren't aware that pre -Thatcher England was a socialist hellhole, the only reason the owner of the cruise line can't pay the modest 500,000 pound ransom to stop the explosion of his boat is the british government has their hands in all the businesses, enough to essentially condemn 1200 people to death if they see fit.
There is no sex or violence in the whole movie. You find yourself DEMANDING they explode the stupid boat.
though somehow MST3K missed this one, perhaps "the film crew" will put it on the agenda. all the elements are there. in robust spades
yeah,this is a REALLY bad movie!it's on our film crew wish list as well,lol!hey,do we have any wishlist threads?we also have a wish list for the next mst boxset..
Seen it on TV, interesting setup, boring execution. There's an episode of "Tales of the Gold Monkey" that recycles both plot and stock footage of the movie (can you sink any lower than that?), but it's not much better.
