 Rating: - Decent Acting, Terrible WritingI can add little to what has been written about this movie, except that I can tolerate a bad movie; but not a stupid movie, and this is a stupid movie. The opening eruption that bathes a scientific survey team in lava is accompanied by violent tremors and aftershocks and a massive cloud of spewing ash, all witnessed by a rescue helicopter crew; yet five minutes later the protagonist/volcanologist declares the fate of the team "a mystery." And later, while his own team wander along a mine shaft, ... Read More Rating:  - Bad, bad, badI am horrified by the thought that somebody might take those "scientists" seriously and actually believe in what this movie tries to tell. Let me pick just two of the many utterly wrong things: 1. Yellowstone sitting on the continent's biggest fault zone? I don't think so. Yellowstone is a hot-spot, like Hawaii, thousands of miles away from fault zones and anybody who took geology 101 would know the difference. 2. Black smokers in the Mariana Trench? So far, black smokers have been found on the ... Read More Rating: - Very DisappointingI am notorious for liking bad natural disaster movies... but this is awful, even for me. The effects were awful (the opening sequence is just ridiculous), the acting very poor, the overall effect is not very interesting. The best acting was done by Xander, but this performance was mediocre for him. I just wasn't impressed at all. I'd rent this before thinking of buying it. I'm sure glad I did. Rating:  - MUSHY MAGMAOriginally airing on the Sci-Fi channel, this is another one of those disaster movies with a wholly illogical scientific basis and mediocre special effects. As a disaster movie, it also fails to deliver any real scenes of personal crisis or danger, leaving us with a talky treatise on governmental incompetence. Xander Berkeley is quite good as the heroic scientist whose theory of cataclysmic disaster is rejected by other scientists; Reyko Aylesworth is very good as his estranged wife whose own ... Read More Rating: - Typical Made for TV Disaster MovieI won't spoil this movie for anyone who hasn't seen it so this review will be short. Having seen this movie on the Sci Fi Channel, I can say it is about average for a made for TV disaster movie. It starts off good with an interesting premise and quickly goes downhill as the plot become cheesier and cheesier. The only bright spots in the entire movie are the characters played by Xander Berkeley and Reiko Aylesworth who most people probably know from the Fox show "24." Despite the mediocre ... Read More |
