Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

Airport 1975 is good, exciting, corny escapism and the kind of movie you would not want to watch as an in-flight film. Read full review

James Berardinelli

The movie does offer its share of thrills and cheesy, unsophisticated fun. Just don't watch it if you're planning any air travel soon. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Jack Smight’s direction has the refreshing pace of a filmmaker who knows his plot can crash unless he hurries. Read full review

Vincent Canby

A silly, jumbo-size sequel to the original film adaptation of Arthur Hailey's Airport. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

This film, with a whole new cast of miscasts, is even more mindless than its predecessor. Read full review

Keith Ulrich

Where to begin with this accidental comic classic, which gives its direct descendant—the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker parody Airplane!, effectively the nail-in-the-coffin of the ’70s disaster movie cycle—some very real competition in the guffaw department? Read full review

Pauline Kael

Processed schlock. This could only have been designed as a TV movie and then blown up to cheapie-epic proportions.

C’est dommage, c’était l’occasion pour ce nanar à gros budget de 1974 (eh oui, un nanar avec du fric, un petit peu quand même… rien que pour les ‘stars’ et tout ça…) de faire un peu de féminisme puisque c’est l’hôtesse de l’air qui conduit… (à l’insu de son plein gré certes mais quandC’est dommage, c’était l’occasion pour ce nanar à gros budget de 1974 (eh oui, un nanar avec du fric, un petit peu quand même… rien que pour les ‘stars’ et tout ça…) de faire un peu de féminisme puisque c’est l’hôtesse de l’air qui conduit… (à l’insu de son plein gré certes mais quand même).

Sauf que finalement, c’est la star de presque 2m qui s’occupe de garer le zingue parce que les gonzesses et les créneaux, ça le fait pas trop (à ce qu’il paraît). De toute façon, pour en arriver là, il faut beaucoup d’avance rapide (et des piles neuves dans la télécommande parce qu’on avance beaucoup… à marche forcée !) dans une forêt de clichés usés, de poncifs éculés et de ringardises périmées.

Et pourtant le film ne dure à peu près qu’une heure quarante-cinq… mais franchement, c’est encore trop pour cette chose improbable et hautement ridicule… de bout en bout.… Expand
