Critics, per Wikipedia
Avalanche was one of the most expensive films ever made by New World Pictures and was not a success at the box office. The film came out at the same time as New World's Piranha. Corman says that New World thought Avalanche would be more of a success because "it was more mainstream" and had bigger stars; however, Piranha was the bigger hit. In hindsight, Corman says this was because Piranha was "funny and very well directed". The Los Angeles Times called it "a formula disaster picture" but "its well drawn credible people and swift pacing combine to make it a satisfying diversion" although it "plays more like a TV movie than a theatrical release." Variety said it "combines all the familiar…

At the opening of a new winter resort in Colorado, disaster strikes as a wall of snow smashes everything. Produced by Roger Corman and with some star power, Avalanche is an amusing 90 minutes.
positive · AI labelView post →Me and @almaelma.bsky.social recently played through Renegade Ops, a twin-stick shooter from the Xbox 360 era. It’s one of the best co-op games out there - lots of weapons, big explosions (as expected from from Just Cause devs Avalanche) and an OTT plot that feels just like an 80s action movie! 😁
neutral · AI labelView post →Avalanche spoiler free review! It was okay, a lot of good music motifs, Bowser Junior scenes were peak, all the extra character references were cool. A bit too fast paced in areas. Lots of cool Easter eggs that go over kids heads. Decent movie overall, 7.5/10

neutral · AI labelView post →NEW REVIEW! There's an easy trap to fall in where old movies grow synonymous with classic ones. In the case of Avalanche (1937), it is worth appreciating that even the great Naruse Mikio was capable of making a bad film. fictionmachine.com/2026/08/23/r...

neutral · AI labelView post →Rough run. IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is D-list Carpenter, DISCLOSURE DAY was better as CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, OPERATION AVALANCHE was oddly fun (love you Matt!), and CLEANER was as boring as a Renny Harlin flick with Sam Jackson and Ed Harris can get. #FilmSky #Last4Watched #Letterboxd #ComeFightMe 🎥

positive · AI labelView post →"We won't fake it all. Just the last little piece, the one thing we can't do." Operation Avalanche is a film about the moon landing but more than that it feels like a film about Matt Johnson as a director. A lot of what the film says can easily be applied to stuff like NTBTS and his other works
