This is a film about people with clashing personalities, having to try and get on, a bunch of, you could say, rag tag types having to pull together to try and find a way out of their gloomy predicament.

There are some instances of quite witty retorts given by passengers in response to what they believe to be fanciful suggestions. Given this film dates from the early 1970s, the special effects aren't plentiful or impressive when compared to todays standards but I felt the performances were alright overall (well, there are some instances of slightly over the top performances but others are alright) and so made up for that. I found it a fairly engrossing watch - quite a tense one at that and while its not quite Titanic (or, perhaps moreso the case, think of it as an older version of Titanic, on a (I assume) smaller budget), I would still recommend it to others as it is somewhat atmospheric, in a claustrophobic sort of a sense.… Expand

The film comes across as cliché, mostly because of a lot of similar films that have come after it.

Watch this movie after reading alot about it. Don't know why critics say that this is bad movie which is entertaining. I don't think this movie was bad. It was both good and entertaining.

Being movie of 1972, movie had good visual effects (also won Oscars for this). The acting is good, I have no complaints about it. Movie is neither dragged nor had any unnecessary scenes. It was just to the point. This movie came 25 years before titanic and showed ship disaster in more better way (both movies are good on their own).

Overall, this movie is must watch for disaster movie fans and for those who love classics.… Expand

Amazing movie. Definitely a must-watch for disaster movie fans. All-star cast and impressive sets, this movie is one of the best of the disaster craze of the 70s.
