RESENSI :
One of three volcano films released in 1997, along with "Dante's Peak" and Roger Corman's "Eruption." The La Brea Tar Pits explode into a volcano which threatens to engulf an entire street, while throwing lava bombs onto things that look interesting. The only man who can stand in its way is a flame-retardant Mike Roark (Tommy Lee Jones played as Tommy Lee Jones).
After much disbelief that the glowing red stuff could be lava, the flow obligingly travels along Wilshire Blvd. Roark and friends stop it using concrete pylons and cars. Meanwhile, the sneaky volcano heads towards the hospital where all of its previous victims have gathered. A building gets knocked over in slow motion, to divert the volcano away, allowing us to enjoy its glass-breaking, concrete-shattering beauty. Close to its defeat, the volcano takes pot shots at people's crotches, but it's too late. The lava flows into the ocean. Rather than seeing "the coast is toast," L.A. survives and gets a new tourist attraction.
If you believe this film bears any resemblance to reality, it's probably because you live in L.A. and might be able to recognize some of the buildings. There are tons of characters who appear and vanish for no reason and accomplish very little.
But this is a disaster movie after all. The fun is in watching things blow up and/or die. You don't get to see too many people actually die, but the clichéd plot is made up for by an abundance of pyrotechnics. There's gallons of glowing stuff and fire...fire...FIRE! Everything burns: shoes, buildings, glass, subway chiefs, etc. This summer blockbuster flop would normally rate a two out of five, if not for special effects lifting it to a three.
