Return To CIN·E·MARK 1997 MOVIE REVIEWSVOLCANO: 8.5
Ok, so this was a typical disaster movie with all the usual
elements, except, unlike Dante's Peak, it didn't overdue those
characteristics to death. The main characters didn't have quite
so many, quite so unbelievable escapes, the romantic attraction
between the two main characters was obvious, but subdued, and
while the dog does live, nobody risked his life and the lives of
others to save it with a miraculous and unbelievable rescue. Add
to that good news some interesting solutions to unique
circumstances and problems, along with some great special effects
which must be seen on the big screen and you've got a good
(albeit somewhat typical) disaster movie.
