    This corny and manipulative movie taxes your ability to suspend disbelief and predictably punishes characters for their hubris--earmarks of a great disaster flick, if the tone is just right.
  2. 60
    This is yet another one of those mindlessly enjoyable outings which eschews such unimportant details as plot or characterisation in favour of the biggest, flashiest special effects money can buy. Twister with lava, if you will.
  3. 30
    These lessons are driven home via silly dialogue ("Her name was Marion and she loved volcanoes...") and painfully predictable plot complications, repeated often enough that there's no need to take notes, except for the benefit of friends who fall asleep.

  2. It isn't all that bad, just sort of slow in like the first hour. That is what I hate about most movies, they don't showe the good parts until the middle or end. What is up with that? Expand

  3. A poor excuse for a movie. Not to mention the melodramatic and unrealistic moments. 'OOOO our car is in lava and our tyres are not melting because this is a Hollywood blockbuster'. No,no,no. Piers Brosnan should of stuck with Bond. Expand
