Summary: Not as bad as the second, but better than the fourth!
Review: Two things make this film worthwhile: 1) the effect of the plane slicing a ocean-standing tower and careening toward the sea, and (2) Lee Grant's line to a young lady getting too cozy with Grant's husband, played by Christopher Lee.Other than that, the film is as "waterlogged" as the downed airliner.
Rating: 
Summary: Quite primative,much room for improvement.
Review: What can i say? There isn't much to say. A simple plot and not much to grab your attention, but some well known actors are present, so judge it how you will.

Summary: Travelling In Style
Review: When millionaire collector James Stewart is talking about the guests he will be flying in for the opening of his museum, he tells reporters, "I think you'll all agree we brought them here in style." The sharp viewer will, of course, recognize irony in those words because this is an Airport movie and his guests are guaranteed anything but a comfortable flight. I've always had a soft spot for the Seventies' disaster flicks, and this is one of my favourites. Art hijackers plan to take control of Stewart's jet to steal his cargo and leave his passengers, put to sleep by gas, sitting on the plane on a remote island. But this is a disaster movie and the hijacking doesn't go quite as planned, leaving the airplane sitting on the bottom of the ocean instead. It's intact, but slowly flooding and with the fresh air disappearing rapidly. It becomes a race against time to somehow signal for help while the Coast Guard and Navy search for the missing plane, well of course from where they expect it to be. The Seventies' disaster flicks usually had great casts, and this is no exception. Jack Lemmon is very intense and convincing as the heroic captain and Brenda Vaccaro brings warmth and vulnerability to her character as the stewardess/assistant to Stewart. Lee Grant chews the scenery (as she sometimes did), playing the drinking bitter wife of the emotionally distant Christopher Lee, while Olivia de Havilland is amusing as a poker playing art patron. Darren McGavin, Pamela Bellwood, and M. Emmett Walsh are also quite effective in supporting roles. Given the time, the special effects are good, both as the plane crashes and as it floods during the rescue attempt. The set design of the unique jet is excellent. The rescue procedure is hard to believe, despite the mandatory disclaimer at the end that it was a real technique used. Far from a great film, Airport '77 is an entertaining film, well cast and fun to watch.

Summary: Breathtaking and elegant disaster movie
Review: when my parents first took me to see this movie, I was mesmerized of course I was just a child, but after years I still enjoy it as much as back then, Lee Grant has always been one of my favorite 70's and 80's actress, she is just amazing; also, it is always so enjoyable to see so many stars in the same movie, Jack Lemon, Cristopher Lee (only the best vampire there's ever been), Brenda Vaccaro (correct me if I mispelled), Olivia de Havilland (correct me again) just to mention a few. The effects were fantastic and very realistic for that time, I was just holding on to my seat 'cause I could feel the movement myself, even though we all now a plane crash at sea is way more severe and there's no way in earth it could go like that, same goes for the other Airport movies, but hey, that's why they are called movies, their purpose is to entertain and this one sure delivers if disaster movies are your cup of tea.

Summary: Totally useless!
Review: Whilst the original airport was funny since it was so campy and rediculous; airport ' 77 is niether funny or especially well done. That Jack Lemmon decided to star in this movie is mind bogling since apparently it did not hurt his career as much as it should have done.
