All the lifeboats have gone, save one. The ship must not be moving for the lifeboat to be lowered safely, and, of course, the ship starts moving too soon, and equipment fails, and there's a death-defying rescue of the people still in the lifeboat. It looks like an amusement park ride where all the sets and props are rigged to blow apart, collapse, etc, then reset itself when the ride is over. It's literally as convincing as that. The movie gets worse.
Bad jokes abound.
Worst of all, the movie wastes the presence of Sandra Bullock, who is relegated to watching disaster happen around her and looking panicked. More Reviews . Back to the Film Reviews for the 1990s .
