Review of Volcano

Volcano (1997)
5/10
enjoyable disaster itself!
23 October 2013
An officer of the rescue organization (Jones) and geologist Dr. Amy Barnes (Heche) teams up trying to combat a roaring volcano in Los Angeles......

The ingredients were there (Volcano, Jones and Heche) for a great movie, The first 30-40 minutes are pretty okay but after 40 minutes the movie turn so bad it could make you laugh or cry....

The characters were paper-thin. The plot was chock full of holes. Poorly written and embarrassing moral moments pulls together. Underground rivers of lava that seem to appear & then disappear just as quick. Various people standing inches from a river of lava yet not being affected by the heat. One simple blockade at the end of a street will stop the flowing lava. And it goes on and on.... The cast go through the motions with some terrible dialogue & ridiculous set-pieces to contend with.

Jones and Heche did very well with what they have been giving, unfortunately they we're giving crap. Jones and Heche deserves better than this.

The script here is total nonsense and is not based in reality at all. But the movie does entertain.

Volcano is a bit of a disaster in both senses, it is a disaster themed film that ended up in an entertaining disaster of itself. Stop you're brain working and you will enjoy this....
