Volcano

When an earthquake triggers a giant burst of lava from the La Brea Tar Pits, sending great spews of lava all over various Los Angeles neighborhoods and causing all manner of flaming magma mayhem, dedicated Emergency Management director Mike Roark rushes to the rescue, with help from a plucky seismologist. A no-holds-barred cataclysmic extravaganza, replete with "lava bombs" bursting in air, a toned-down flirtatiousness between the city's saviors, and the straight-faced "how-will-we-stop-it?" suspense factor of the classic Hollywood disaster epics.

Pros lava
Cons everything else
Recommended it? No

As if there’s not already enough problems in California with fires, earthquakes, mudslides and typhoons (not to mention recall elections), Los Angeles is about to get it’s very own volcano.

The first hint that something is amiss is a small earthquake. Meanwhile, in the... Read full review »

Cons Predictable and not believable.
Recommended it? Yes

Disaster movies have been made for years with some being more successful than others. I have enjoyed several of them over the years. I recently decided to watch Volcano again, the second movie about a volcano to be released in 1997.

Mike Roark was supposed to be on vacation from his job... Read full review »

Pros California almost bites the big one!
Cons Unbelievable plot AND acting
Recommended it? No

Tommy Lee Jones plays a guy whose name isn't even worth remembering.. Mike something... he works for the disaster dept of California or LA or some such. The movie starts out with an earthquake (no big deal for LA) and a conflict with workers wanting to bore down through a fault and seismologists... Read full review »

Volcano [VHS]

Get mindless for awhile with this 1997 disaster flick, starring the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles as a funky place for lava to spew, plus Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche as the brave souls who know how to shut off the spout. Director Mick Jackson (The Bodyguard) wastes no time getting to the good stuff--it's happening even before opening credits are over--and neither should anyone in the mood for technical efficiency without the burden of art. --Tom Keogh
