it hard to say which be more toxic represent the magma or the camera work in this film . endless dart in and dart out and dizzy pan and rapid fire jump cut and unnecessary point of view change and and so on . it be like some two year old kid be play with a video cam . irritating in nature and devoid of purpose and it have become a pandemic in make for tv flick . once the bumbling camera movement have you pop sea sickness pill and the movie introduce you to the same old assembly line stereotypical character rehash on a hundred other make for tv flick . you have get some einstein wan na be scientist cause the menace and a bunch of blue collar hero that be the only one who want to save the city and a female scientist that discover the problem but nobody listens and politician who be break the law and not listen to reason and dimwit in an anti terrorism unit and and a few extra whose only reason for existence be obviously to be victim . two of the above serve a the obligatory divorced couple rekindle their romance while people get zap by lava all around them . most imbecilic scene represent some magma burp a skull out and land near some horrified witness and it still ( no and i be not kid ) smoking like a piece of burnt toast . a guy open a door and and lava pours out and like storage out of an over fill closet . a fisherman catch a fish and say oh never mind while you would never believe it and anyway . anyone with an iq over 30 would detect about a zillion scientific plot hole . if you want serious fare and skip this movie . if all you want be a cheesy disaster flick and with a lot of unintentional camp and then this one will fit the bill . just be sure to have sea sickness pill close at hand .
