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 →This *might* be cheating since he only shows up for a cameo, but I'm gonna have to go with 2011's The Muppets if we're talking about film. Same cheating thing applies to that one episode of MST3K where he showed up for a musical host segment in Avalanche.

positive · AI labelView post →This is from a movie called Operation Avalanche, a low-budget thriller filmed (in large part) by telling NASA they were making a documentary about the moon landing, getting the invite to come on-site, then turning around and making this instead www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ6I...

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 🎥

unlabelledView post →I just realized - it's the guy who did Apollo 18. I enjoyed that movie. A lot of people are down on found footage flicks. But I think it works with the right project. Not as good as Operation Avalanche. But that's a very high bar.

unlabelledView post →I think I only knew about it because I've been following the director from his debut I think you might also like Operation Avalanche. It's a mockumentary about CIA agents faking the moon landing where they got into NASA to film and got actual interviews that they edit to fit the narrative
unlabelledView post →I watched a movie called Operation Avalanche today and it was so refreshingly fun and gripping in a very particular way, really took me back to Primer, but was not *like* it, exactly. It was funny, for one. But cool in the same way, similar approach to doling out intrigue. The vibe stuck with me.
