    Deft filmmaking that allows the special effects to help, not be, the story combines with an actual script to make Volcano a smart, self-aware, and most of all fun disaster movie.

    The fun is in the mayhem, and there's plenty of it.

    This is a surprisingly cheesy disaster epic.

    Excellent movie. Tommy Lee Jones' best film to date. Also, it's the best disaster film ever, even better then "The Day After Tomorrow."
