Review of When Time Ran Out... (1980) by Kevin R — 09 Aug 2012
Always arrive before you're expected.
On a Pacific Island a volcano mysteriously becomes active during an oil dig. A resort full of people attending a conference is threatened because the ash in the sky prevents aircrafts from leaving the island. Can the people get off the island before they are covered in liquid hot magma?
"I think they aught to chase all of you around with butterfly nets.".
James Goldstone, director of The Sun also Rises, The Bride in Black, Calamity Jane, Red Sky at Morning, Rollercoaster, Brother John, and Jigsaw, delivers When Time Ran Out. The storyline for this picture is classic disaster film with little special effects or sequences worth getting excited about. The cast delivers mediocre performances and includes Paul Newman, William Holden, Burgess Meredith, and Ernest Borgnine.
"We've got to get the hell out of here and right now.".
I DVR'd this picture because it starred the magnificent Paul Newman. I can tell you this is one of the worst pictures of his that I have ever seen. This movie has little going for it other than some witty Newman lines. I recommend skipping this picture, even if you are a diehard fan of Mr. Newman.
"It'll be okay if you don't panic.".
Grade: C-.
