---|---|---|---|
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "The movie’s a big, slick entertainment, relentlessly ridiculous and therefore never boring for long. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | NEU |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "First-rate schlock; overlong and incredibly stupid, but that's part of the formula by now" | NEG |
United States | TV Guide | "Here we go again--it's time for a 747 to meet disaster once more with a host of colorful characters to worry about as they go down--and this time they go down 50 feet into the ocean." | NEU |
United Kingdom | Time Out | "The survivors then spend their time trying to overact their way out of the claustrophobic script" | NEG |
United States | Variety | "The story’s formula banality is credible most of the time and there’s some good actual US Navy search and rescue procedure interjected in the plot." | NEU |
United States | The New York Times | "'Airport '77' looks less like the work of a director and writers than like a corporate decision." | NEG |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "Silly as it is (c’mon, helium balloons?), Airport ’77 is the most suspenseful of the series, with death looming over a planeload of Oscar winners, each trying to out-ham the others before their oxygen runs out." | NEU |
