Roger Donaldson directs Pierce Brosnan, Linda Hamilton and Charles Hallahan in this disaster movie about a volcanologist who thinks a small town is under threat from a dormant volcano. 

A rather dull and worthy survival scenario; perfunctory, dawdling and uninspired. We wait an eternity for shit to go down. And when shit goes down it too often feels like studio based, toddler-aged CGI tainted fakery. Not even Brosnan nor Hamilton, two very likeable actors, can add much more than semi-authentic grimacing to the low level thrills that eventually bombard them.
