Title: A fun, well-made disaster movie
Review: Dante's Peak is as about as good as disaster movies get. First, Brosnan is very good as the hunk expert with a hunch; he's certain that that volcano's gonna blow, but is not egotistic about it. He pairs up with Hamilton very well, and is extraordinarily good in the scenes with her children.The special effects in the movie are absolutely first-rate, and the movie uses these with great energy and excellent pace. There are a few wacky, completely-forget-about-science scenes, but not too many to be overly bothersome. Bottom-line is that Dante's Peak is a lot of fun to watch, and it easily passes the watch-again test. Recommended.
