Leave your thoughts about When Time Ran Out....
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe latest Irwin Allen disaster movie is When Time Ran Out, which is waxen even by Mr. Allen's standards. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...starts running out of entertainment value pretty early and continues on fumes until it sputters to a close. |
| Radio TimesAdrian TurnerThe eruption, when it finally comes, is a wonderfully cheesy amalgam of wobbly back projection, bathtub tidal wave and scared expressions from the cast. It's not as hilariously awful as Swarm or Meteor, though, which is a pity. |
| Screen RantPaolo AlfarThis film has everything that makes a disaster film as an actual film disaster. With unconvincing effects, bland performances and a convoluted story, When Time Ran Out… is a dud, critically and financially. |
| User ReviewCarlton RENJOYABLE FILM, DOES HAVE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES WITH TOWERING INFERNO ,THE USUAL GREEDY OWNERS,WHO DENY A PENDING DISASTER, AND CHARACTERS THAT DEVELOP AS THE STORY UNFOLDS , ENJOYABLE SATURDAY AFTERNOON VIEWING |
| User ReviewTom HA run of the mill disaster movie. Nothing special, but not bad either. |
| User ReviewMark GI've seen this as a kid and I liked it. The thrilling atmosphere and lava underneath the old wooden bridge was just unbelievable, watching it 15 years later takes away the thrill but film is still enjoyable ... |
| User ReviewMike BHighlights include a number of well paid actors glowering at each other over this and that, touches of glamour, all that hairspray, however the over-long wobbly bridge scene is criminally dull. I was beginning to dream I could throw myself into the river of lava to put an end to my misery. |
| User ReviewTed KCheesy and lame even by 70's standards. |
| User ReviewPaul CTypical Irwin Allen disaster movie effort with the usual full range of characters - though this time the menace is a volcano. In all honesty it has dated badly and it's quite dull - but i always had a thing for Veronica Hamel in a pair of jodhpurs! |
