At long last Irwin Allen's last theatrical disaster Epic is coming out on DVD!. It's been a long wait for fans of Irwin Allen and disaster movie fans.

As with all of Irwin Allen productions, the film has amazing special effects and an all-star cast, filmed on location in Hawaii, great performances from Paul Newman, Jacqueline Bisset, Edward Albert, William Holden and many more.

Theres a memorable scene where Ernest Borgnine and Red Buttons from "The Poseidon Adventure" pay tribute to the end of an era.

Irwin Allen went on to create a few made-for-TV disaster movies after this, but this was the finale on the big screen.

It's a must see for fans of disaster movies. And a very welcome addition to the video librarys of the late, great master, producer-director Irwin Allen!

Not one of Irwin Allen's best, but overall a fun time with a huge all-star cast trying to escape peril from an erupting volcano. Good to see it arrive on DVD at last, but the mystery is why Warner Home Video isn't releasing the expanded 2 1/2 hour version they previously released on VHS, and which was shown on network television. They used the expanded version of The Swarm both on DVD and the older laserdisc releases (which actually made that one a much better movie), so since they're doing this release as part of a Paul newman tribute series, why the shortchanging for this movie when they obviously have the longer version in their archives?

I enjoyed this movie. A lot of thrills and a good cast. Paul Newman and Edward Albert are always easy on the eyes. Glad to see a DVD release coming soon.
