Rating: - Fun to watch - if you're a fan of the actors
I'm a big fan of Martin Milner's, and that's the sole reason I bought this movie. Fun to watch to see Mr. Milner in a post-Adam-12 role, and enjoyed a few of the other cast members as well. As mentioned, the movie itself is pretty cheesy with some cheap looking special effects and some over the top drama by a few of the minor cast members. Thank God for the fast-forward button - some moments were incredibly boring and dragged on and on, but all in all, not so bad, & worth a few bucks if you're a fan.
Rating: - OK disaster movie for T.V. but only if your a fan
i grew up in the 70's and watched every disaster movie that came out and this T.V. movie was fun back then. to be sure this isn't a great movie, but if you like disaster movies you may like this slice of cheese.
Rating: - Irwin should have quit while he was ahead!
Irwin Allen was a real showman...the P.T. Barnum of disaster movies! But after his TV success and subsequent big-screen hits like THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE and THE TOWERING INFERNO, he should have quit while he was ahead. In this boring, low budget TV movie, he brings together lots of his favorite players (Lynley, McDowall, Hershey, Milner) and gets them all wet. Strictly for fans.
Rating: - The Master of Disaster Strikes Again!
Although not as compelling or as large scale as his 1972 blockbuster, "The Poseidon Adventure", this Irwin Allen television movie is quite entertaining and has some decent special effects. The cast is good especially martin Milner and Barbara Hershley. Roddy McDowall and Carol Lynley, both stars of "The Poseidon Adventure" prove to be water disaster pro's by turning in good solid supporting performances. Again, "Flood!" won't win any Emmy's but it will entertain you and that is what Irwin Allen does best.
