ReceptionThe film received a 21% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from fewer than 50 ratings.[1] German online film portal Filmdienst wrote of the film, "A thoroughly conventional disaster film with all the melodramatic and action-packed clichés of the genre. Also listless in the treatment of the subplot about the figure of the reporter between desire for sensation and responsibility."[2] German film magazine TV Spielfilm criticizes the film for what it perceived was an "unimaginative" story with "cheap" special effects, saying that it "triggers comedy rather than panic." Director Tibor Takács is mockingly called in the review a "trash specialist." The review ends saying, "L.A. is burning – unfortunately the film survived."[3] References
