Solid visual effects & a game cast make for a entertaining 90s disaster flick. Plus a little Los Angeles satire for good measure.
It's aged a bit, but it's still an awesome movie. I really recommend it!
Watchable. Love on Tommy Lee Jones and big love on Anne Hueche. But the rest of the movie just doesn't stick to the memory or the heart
It’s so bad that it’s good, worth watching despite problematic elements - are we supposed to side with the cops? - enjoyable disaster flick
A 90s disaster movie...this was right at the beginning of that becoming a fad. Not good tho.
I love disaster movies. I like watching shit get destroyed. I couldn't call this a good movie though
A very silly movie that takes itself too seriously.
I know I've seen this but it feels like a fever dream.
Cheer on Jones & Heche as they divert lava through the streets of LA. Like a volcano, builds pressure & tension then explodes into absurdity
There’s so much they could have done in this movie to make it a great disaster movie, and instead they decided on focusing on one thing.
