Dante's Peak (1997)
Exciting but without a very interesting storyline
11 May 2003
This was a OK film. I like Pierce Brosnan, and he was good in it and he played a scientist who was trying to convince the population of a small town in the midwest that the volcano above their town was going to explode in only a matter of time, but they refused to believe him. It finally does explode, and chaos comes about. If you like disaster films you will most likely enjoy this as it had good special effects with the lava and all. It was very fake though in some parts (as with most disaster films) when Brosnan and the family he is taking care of get in a canoe and paddle across an acid-contaminated river and the water begins burning through the sides of the canoe immediately (it would most likely take a few hours to do that in real life). But this was entertaining and worth your time unless you are terrified of volcanoes (as I am of tornadoes). Feel free to email me with any questions or comments.
