| Here we go, yet another disaster film, this time, we have a volcano
erupting in Los Angeles. At first, the emergency response teams can't
believe what is happening and have no idea to respond to the splashing
lava, but then the director yells "Someone get me a scientist!" and it's
the geologist of the day to the rescue. The special effects are really
good most of the time, but the endless acts of bravery and human sacrifice
border on the absurd (cf. Schindler's list). Still, it's not every day you
get to see lava burn through everything except concrete. |
