Plot |
Considering the title, the only thing you don't know about this movie is the location where the volcano "pops up"; Los Angeles.
|
Pros |
This movie has some very cool special effects and great chemistry between its lead actors (Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche) and a strong supporting cast. Add a lot of action and some one-liners and this is very entertaining. |
Cons |
On a scale of 1 to 10 for believability and accuracy, I suspect this movie would get something around a 3. I would strongly suggest that you not sit next to either a geologist or volcanologist while watching this film. This is, after all, entertainment not a documentary. |

Recommendation |
Every movie fan has movies they really like that most people don't and movies they hate that most people love. This movie got some really bad reviews but to me, it's just a whole lot of fun. |
