YMMV / The Last Voyage

Go To

  • Just Here for Godzilla: The real sinking ship was the primary novelty here, far more than the relatively unknown actors and their fates.
  • The Scrappy: Laurie's and Cliff's daughter Jill. She's the only character you start hoping is going to end up drowning. Her acting mostly consists of whining deafeningly, even when she's on a ledge staring into the open hole that was once her cabin.
  • Shocking Moments: Before James Cameron's Titanic (1997), this probably had the highest of any shipboard disaster movie. The film crew sank a real cruise liner to give it maximum realism and it shows.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: As stated above, a lot of the film was shot on a real (scrap) ocean liner. Many of the interior shots are on sets or in miniatures, but you'd never know from the sheer amount of water and number of explosions aboard the doomed vessel.
