Dante's Peak

CriticsCritics: 40
AudienceAudience: 5.9

A volcanologist arrives in a quiet mountain town to investigate troubling signs from the dormant volcano nearby. When the threat becomes real, he joins the mayor and local residents in a desperate struggle to escape the eruption and survive the disaster.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like straightforward 1990s disaster movies with escalating danger, family stakes, and practical-looking spectacle; Not for you if you want subtle characters, surprises, or scientific realism.
