On some dumb fundamental level, Airport kept me interested for a couple of hours. I can't quite remember why.

Yes, it may be junk, but it's irresistible junk, like cotton candy, chicken nuggets or Gilligan's Island reruns.

Before there was Airplane! there was Airport, a surprisingly engaging disaster drama that ignited a trend.

If it weren't for a mad bomber story line, it would be the perfect empty movie for airlines to show on long flights.

One of the most embarrassing films to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, Airport is a trashy flick that began a cycle of commercially successful disaster movies; its spoof Airplane is far more enjoyable.

Old-fashioned and fairly stagy, but this great-granddaddy of disaster flicks has an undeniable old-fashioned charm.

Audience Reviews for Airport

Sep 29, 2012One of the original disaster films that spawned an entire new genre of films, Airport is a good little film. However, there's nothing too special about this one. Airport is entertaining, but lacks terrific character development and has cringe worthy dialogue at times. The performances are good, and the cast is pretty impressive, however the plot is hit and miss, and the direction seems unfocused. Nonetheless, if you love a classic thrill ride, this is worth checking out; just don't expect anything great with the film. I liked the film, but it's nothing special. The film set the standard of every other disaster flick that was to follow. The film is a bit too predictable, but in the end it's silly fun. The film tends to go from serious to almost tongue in cheek. Of all the disaster films out there, I find that this is one of the few more unintentionally humorous ones. I'm not saying the picture is bad, but there are moment in the film where you're like, did this happen? Considering that this is drama, you'd expect something a little more serious. This film could have been much better, and the screenwriters could have toned down on the cheesy dialogue and poor tongue in cheek moments. Otherwise, this is an entertaining picture that delivers effective thrills from start to finish, and despite its flaws, it's worth watching you love 1970's cinema. Just don't expect a great film. Enjoyable, but you can see that the film had the potential of being so much more than what it turned out to be.Alex r Super Reviewer

Jun 22, 2011The first of the Airport disaster films. I remember seeing most of them on Sunday afternoons on TV as a young kid. Big budget blockbusters for the time with an all star cast! I think there were three sequels in the end Airport '75, '77 and '79 concorde! Check them out, still pretty good films and few disaster films about planes have been made since to this standard. Not too mention it inspired two of the funniest spoof films (Airplane) as well!Dean K Super Reviewer

Sep 05, 2010A good cast, but the story is predictable and the movie is very long. This is the first of the 70s disaster movie fad, I think, so it's interesting to watch anyway.Aj V Super Reviewer

Jul 23, 2010The best cast imaginable, a plot that is fresh and enjoyable, and sequences that couldn't be less comparable to any other film.Spencer S Super Reviewer
