First out of the gate what a great soundtrack. Very similar to Deep Blue Sea

And not a great special effect lol.

Man, this opening is a little over the top.

Those are weak arse bullshite pushups. I’m out of shown and my pushups are better than that

I think I’d love to live in a town like Dante’s Peak (sans volcano)

Linda Hamilton is a double parking bitch

This hot springs chick is hot but this scene freaked me out so much when I was little

Dutch angles

I remember volcano too. That was a bit more of an over the top action movie while this one tried to be a bit more accurate


I don’t think Brosnan’s boss was wrong to call off the alert till they have scientific evidence

Now Brosnan is wearing a shirt, a denim jacket, and a trench coat

I forgot this was from this movie lol



What town of 20,000 has its own tv station?

If they think they’re going to evacuate why set the town hall meeting for 12 hours later?

That’s fricked up. The helicopter crashes and he tells them to send for the fire services when they know the volcano is about to explode “any second”

Ruth really did frick up

This truck is super truck

This acidic lake, Ruth’s death scene is so fricked up

These kids are going to be so traumatized

A bit late to be sending in the national guard

That flooding death is pretty intense too

No way those tires would last driving through lava and being on fire

Great bit of parenting dialogue
“My head hurts.”
“I know, mine does too”

Don’t like seeing the bone sticking out. Of of the things that I remember most about this movie

I read somewhere that the director said he wanted the make the volcano a character in the film, similar to the shark in Jaws, so they gave it its own theme music.

Then it was on point. I really liked the way theme music came up in certain points. Though my impression wasn’t on the volcano itself. But the notion of generic “forces of nature.”

Volcano. They were rescuing folks trapped in a subway train. Supervisor was last one out, but lava passed the end of the train. No way he could jump with the passed out driver.

So he jumped and threw the survivor.

It was a suspension of disbelief moment for me too that the lava would melt someone like it was an acid.

And the practical effects of the pyroclastic cloud was genius (huge air cannons) and hold up better than CGI
