Review of Dante's Peak (1997) by Justice R — 02 Feb 2010

The story centers around a quiet little town called Dante's Peak where a volcano eruption seems slim to none until a scientist Pierce Brosnan becomes increasingly convinced that the long dormant volcano might blow up but his boss is reluctant to declare an emergency in the city. Unfortunately Brosnan is right and the volcano erupts with the entire town of Dante's Peak in its destructive path. Linda Hamilton is a mother with two children who becomes Brosnan's love interest who rides out the explosion with him.

I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes intense action all the way right to the end. Dante's Peak has excellent special effects, especially the eruption scenes.

Harry Dalton: "I've always been better at feeling out volcanoes than people and politics.".
