Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe script by Bernard Gordon and Cliff Gould is a man-made disaster.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UHILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I have to say is that there is a musical striptease called "old fashioned girl" and a girl named Tushie
User Review - 10/10 by Sanity Assassin !Let's leave aside the small problem of one of Karkatoa which is actually being west of Java,instead of East. Another problem not being fictional here about one of the greatest disasters ever witnessed by man. The epic 1969 adventure saga was basically the last wave of films to be produced in Cinerama 70(that were released during the late 1960's)and also very entertaining of the big budgeted "Panavision" films that exploded during that era. The movie is about treasure hunters who encounter the volcanic island just as it blows apart and who then get bounced around in the ensuing tidal wave that is so technically impressive if narratively lame. The tidalwave sequence alone is worth the price of admission. Here various characters faced certain dangers above on the island and below the depths of the ocean including one horrifying sequence with one of the characters facing a monster squid. An interesting cast of famililar actors(which includes Maximilian Schell,Diane Baker,Brian Keith,Rossano Brazzi and Sal Mineo)portray the mixed group of adventurers,but the script and dialogue are so pathetically weak one just wants to get past the high drama on the high seas and the watch the geological fireworks,since fortunately they make quite a show. Not to mention some bathing beauties too in some great underwater sequences. Basically this movie came out in the summer of 1969 and was released thru Cinerama Pictures and ABC Pictures(yes,the American Broadcasting Companies motion picture division)and distributed by MGM.

User Review - 10/10 by James HThe incredible day that shook the earth to its core.
User Review - 6/10 by Gary SThey do not make them like that anymore! Good, old fashioned, adventure film about a ship of treaure hunters who visit Krakaota around the time it erupts. Might be a tad old fashioned for today's audiences. I still think that it is good though.
User Review - 6/10 by Mark HStarted very badly (almost as a musical), then got much better, as it turned into an early disaster movie.
User Review - 4/10 by Paul DWeak fictionalized telling of the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883. They apparently weren't even aware that Krakatoa is west of Java, not east. If you want to learn about what really occurred, read the outstanding book "Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded" by Simon Winchester.
User Review - 4/10 by Amar MIt was long and pretty dull although, for it's time, the effects were not bad.
User Review - 4/10 by Linda MI saw this ages ago and just don't remember it
