This film is about a Volcano forming in the city of Los Angeles and causing massive devastation in the city. The idea is very good but the filmakers didn't exploit it to it's full extent as the script was pretty weak and a good idea was wasted. The special effects are outstanding and are state of the art and I cannot fault them. The film stars Tommy Lee Jones and was made around the same time as Men Ib Black but was released almost a year after it to avoid a summer clash. The film would have flopped big time if they had released it against Men In Black so that was a good thing. It is well worth watching however just to see the special effects and to see downtown LA in ruins.
