the hollywood mover and shaker who decide which script be give the green light ought to be ashamed of themselves . the actor who sign up for this debacle should have know well . the behind the scene crew must have keep their mouth shut while film the irwin allen production and knowing that the final product be go to be garbage . there must have be a conspiracy within the costume design branch of the academy award for nominate this and the swarm two year earlier for the bland clothing right off the store shelf from sears or k mart ( or whatever store that be close to the warner brother burbank studio lot or on location in hawaii ) . and i be not go to discuss the poor blue screen effect and the cheap miniature effect or the actor laughable reaction shot . while write this review and i realize that when time run out and airplane . be both release in 1980. i guess it speak volume when a silly but unintentionally funny disaster movie be a flop and a silly but intentionally funny disaster spoof be a hit .
