Title: Dante's Peak is better
Review: Anne Heche almost single-handly ruins this movie with her horrible over acting. Tom Lee Jones shows his one dimensional acting style and the rest of the cast submits mediocre performances as well. About the only thing done well was the lava, and I was rooting for it envelope Anne Heche and Tom Lee Jones in a fiery death. Unfortunately, they survive. This movie also trys to force a "we are the world" kind of theme, but showing how confronting lava can *gasp* bring people together in the force of adversity. A contrived plot device that could have definitely been left out. I think Dante's Peak captured a more realistic tone - when the eruption comes its pretty much everyone for themselves! If you do watch this movie, just watch it to root for the lava to destroy LA.
