Certainly not the best catastrophe movie out there, namely because the base story is just hard to accept. Jones and Heche though manage to make the movie watchable.

To be clear, this is not bad. But it is also not good. There have been countless other movies similar to this, essentially all of which are better. I am sure this was a fun theater movie when it came out 25+ years ago, but unfortunately it is showing its age. Rating: 2/5 - 65% - Not Recommended to Everyone

This movie was cheesy, hilarious fun. The end slo mo hero runs are beyond parody, I loved it. The idea of a volcano in LA is hilarious, also the idea of the red line running anywhere near the Beverly Center. Heyo! LA humor.

Men in Black at least was a hit for Jones in 1997. Volcano was pretty much him taking a Fugitive approach, towards lava. Except he never heard of lava. Anne Heche is the expert since Tommy Lee Jones's character conveniently has no idea what lava is. Who never heard of lava ? "Stay away from that...stuff over there!" The movie is silly yet I kind of like it. I think the musical score is why mostly.
