Reviews

[Mark H · Rating 3 out of 5]

Movie tie-in magazine, full of b/w photos printed on pulpy paper. Half of the magazine is a heavily illustrated run through of the plot. Then a few pages about the major stars. Then a brief account of the making of the film, which is at least informative, but not enough space to be in depth.
Considering this was a big budget disaster movie which used an actual 747 rather than any models, a book would have been more welcome than a magazine.

Exciting and worth a read. I liked the movie too. This features Charlton Heston A pilot dropping from the sky and leaking gas.
