Movie Reviews of Rollercoaster
Movie Review: This film should have been a "made-for-TV-movie".
Summary: 2 Stars
I must admit the only reason I bought the DVD of this film is because I was an extra in it and 22 years old at the time.The script is written by Link and Levinson the guys that brought us many TV series (i.e. Mannix and Colombo). It was directed by James Goldstone who happened to have directed the original pilot for the original Star Trek series.
All in all it is not a bad film, it would have been better suited as a made-for-TV-movie. When I first saw it in the theater with Sensurround it really made me feel as though I was riding a rollercoaster. Unfortunately you don't get the same effect from the home video version as Sensurround is not included on the soundtrack.
The DVD is well presented but the only disappointment to me is the sound is in mono Dolby Digital which makes no sense to me. Otherwise it is typical of most DVDs in its presentation of a film. If you like disaster and/or suspense films this will be a good addition to your collection.
