| You'd think a picture this bad would at least get the title right (Krakatoa is WEST of Java). High production values keep this one a notch above the rest; it is somewhat of a pioneer in the disaster genre. A contrived plot about greed, sunken treasure, young love, old love, etc. seem to only be here to waste our time. I recommend that you skip to #13 in the scene selection and revel in the magnificent Oscar-nominated special effects (it lost to "Marooned"). There's another huge, all-star cast to create implausible histrionics; I'm regularly amazed that the inept Diane Baker's career lasted as long as it did. (22years later she had a small role in "Silence of the Lambs") I still watch the film to be entertained by the bad acting and great effects. Not bad for the price. The Anchor Bay edition is 131 minutes in a widescreen that is clean and clear. Check it out... | |
