Oh no! It's Mount St. Helens all over again!

Back in 1997, when I was still a carefree and stressless teenager, there suddenly came two volcano movies in one year. I enjoyed them both at the time, but all the critics and movie-going audiences unanimously claimed this "Dante's Peak" was much better than "Volcano". They were right.

Now that I re-watched them both again, shortly after one another, "Dante's Peak" is definitely the superior achievement, mainly thanks to the better and far more plausible script, but also the special effects are more splendid. What I also didn't realize in 1997, because I was too young and because I am European, is that "Dante's Peak" bears a lot resemblance with the factual events of the Mount St. Helens eruption as they occurred between end of March and mid-May 1980.

Not only does director Roger Donaldson make use of the actual Mount St. Helens craters as filming locations, but there are also many parallels with the series of events as they took place in 1980. Similar to St. Helens, Dante's Peak is the name of a quiet and peaceful little town in Washington state, located at the bottom of a beautiful volcano that has been dormant for nearly 150 years, and believed to remain like that. One geologist/volcanologist also predicts the eruption and forewarns the local authorities, but hardly anybody takes him seriously. And, last but not least, here as well the human death toll unnecessarily increases because stubborn elderly people refuse to leave their mountaintop homes when the volcano erupts. By the way, if you enjoyed "Dante's Peak", I warmly recommend seeking out the obscure 1981 disaster-movie "St. Helens" directed by Ernest Pintoff.

Better Than "Volcano."

I like this, not because I am a fan of Pierce Brosnan (GOD HE IS SOOOOOOOO CUTE!),or Linda Hamilton, but because it IS the better of the 2 volcano movies out at the time.

******SPOILER ALERT!!!!!******

The best part of the film is when Hamilton's 2 damn kids decided to drive up to their Grandmother's house (She lives up in the mountains), when the volcano erupts. Of course, Brosnan and Hamilton have to go up to rescue the kids. They encounter lava, ash and water that had turn into acid. The later becomes a problem when they have to cross a river in a metal boat. When the volcano finally goes and they are racing the cloud,it is awesome! Part of you is screaming RUN!!!!

8 OUT OF 10 STARS! I deducted 2 stars, because the kids just got on my ever loving nerves!

Dante's Peak deserves more than 5.9 rating

Dante's Peak is a disaster thriller movie directed by Roger Donaldson and stars Pierce Brosnan, Linda Hamilton, Charles Hallahan, Jeremy Foley and Jamie Renee Smith in the leads.

After seeing the movie I was surprised to such low rating of the movie on IMDb as the movie deserves much better rating.

The plot of the movie is predictable but execution is good. The best part of the movie is that it doesn't wastes much time in plot development.

Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton both are seasoned actors and it shows in their performance. Rest of the actors were also good.

The screenplay is good but the pace is uneven as either it gets fast or gets slow. Cinematography is good and specially the scenes of volcanic eruption is fascinating although some scenes looks dramatic.

The movie is not that bad as rated by few and is an enjoyable experience.
