Dante 01 DVD

Advantages: A super action movie, with a strong story line
Disadvantages: Quite similar to other action movies

...Dantes peak is another one of the many disaster movies released over the last few years. It has the clasic story-line, where by some natural disaster is occuring, which only the hero can prevent from wiping out all of humanity. This time the natural disaster is a volcano ready to blow - Dantes peak. This is really quite a nice movie, brimming with the best action around. Thankfully it is not over-the-top like many action movies around. It just has the right balance between heavy action and plot. Certainly a good night in watching this on video. I would thoroughly recomend it.... Read review

Advantages: effect are okay
Disadvantages: too many

...A geologist is sent to the small town of Dante's Peak to investigate the volcano that towers over the area. When he arrives, he discovers that the giant mountain is ready to blow. The entire town needs to leave Dante's Peak before they are killed by the lava and ash. This may have been a good film if it were about a volcanic eruption. You sit in the theater for 90 minutes while people talk about a volcano that will explode. The action doesn't occur until the last 15 minutes... and even then it's pretty bad. Brosnan did the best he could with a bad script. Everything else was pathetic. There are just too many flaws.... Read review
