prior to airport 79 these movie be rather good . they have decent special effect and all star cast and and good acting . this movie destroy the franchise and and there be many reason for it . let talk about the special effect wow . they be horrific and what be the director think about . i know it only 1979 and but let look at other very good special effect movie such a star war ( 1977 ) and and moonraker ( 1979 ) . i like the idea of the concord and this could of be the best airport movie and but they do too much with it . how about joe patroni ( george kennedey ) shoot a flare out of the cockpit window and to prevent a heat seek missile from hit the concord . also he be do 90 degree dive and loop . this completely far fetch and and unrealistic wow . believe me the special effect do not help this scene and and really be beyond poor . they almost look like a cartoon and and this be how the whole movie be . finally let talk about the act which in my opinion be extremely poor to fair at best . over acting be a major issue in this movie and especially george kennedy . which i really like a an actor and but just doesn not cut in this movie . the full blame have to go on the director and who do a very poor edit job and and really whack out the airport franchise . too bad the concord isn not still use today it be a marvel of air travel .
