Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Lovers of bizarre cinematic gimmickry will find much to enjoy thanks to an ingenious aural device known as Sensurround which induces a minor tremor in the cinema during climactic sequences. The special effects are of a high order as Los Angeles is razed, so it is unfortunate that the same intelligent attention is not extended to either script or direction. Both settle for flat, generally laughable hokum, and the film ends up nowhere near as interesting a comment on the psychological aspects of disaster as Juggernaut.Author: DP
