Hey, would it really be that far of a stretch for a volcano to just
pop up in L.A.? Not as far as the creators of this movie are
concerned. And let's not forget the gullible masses that went to see
it. Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche star in this special effects
extravaganza that features the La Brea Tar Pits and Los Angeles as the
starting point of something that becomes pretty big. Big and nasty
that is! As with all disaster pictures, you have your panicking
public, heroes (Jones and Heche) and the countless government
officials who attempt to hold everything together. Needless to say,
the effects are great. Very realistic. The story itself is not as
realistic a scenario as the one presented in Dante's Peak (which came
out the same year) but the story takes off right from the get go.
Which is great for those people who don't want to wait around too long
for the action to start. |
