Airplane vs. Volcano

This is a disaster B-Movie, its title is "Airplane Vs. Volcano"... yet looking at the reviews here, it would seem some people were expecting a blockbuster of multi-Oscar winning potential and a stella intellectual delight.

Those people are idiots who expect too much.

The acting is everything you would expect from one of these movies, the effects and plot follow suit.

The purpose of this movie is to allow your brain 90 minutes of rest, in that this movie succeeds.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride, let a laugh escape as you gaze in disbelief at some of the huge leaps it takes with logic.

But overall if you're a fan of these films you know what to expect and will enjoy it, for everyone else who just came here because of the flashy poster, amusing title, perhaps you just have a love for Dean Cain, or maybe you're just curious how a plane can take on a volcano? Whichever is your reason, this movie will serve its purpose for you, there are much worse movies of this genre out there (Titanic II, or Snow Sharks for example), at least this one avoids the teen frat boys at a drunken party feel.

In the immortal words of Bruce Lee in "Enter The Dragon"... "Don't think.... Feel" and you will have a fun 90 minutes. otherwise you can just sit there mocking and feeling offended that someone could release a movie of this style like so many of the other (clearly snooty) reviewers

Right, well with a title like "Airplane vs Volcano" you know exactly what you are getting yourself into. Despite that, then I was a bit skeptic when I saw The Asylum name make an appearance on the screen during the opening scenes. But still, I continued to watch the movie, because it might just be one of those rare instances where The Asylum completely surprises with a unique experience...

...But that was not the case. Not by a long shot.

This movie was ridiculous in concept and execution. A massive ring of volcanoes erupt in a violent outburst, trapping a commercial airplane in the midst. And the only people on the entire world paying attention to it is a small group of soldiers stationed in something that looks more like an outdoor shack dressed up to be a military command post than it actually looked like an official military installation.

The CGI effects weren't too bad actually, I will say that much. But the constant repetitive usage of scenes was wearing thin within no time, even if the director tried to throw off the audience by flipping and mirroring the scene. But come on, it fools no one.

The characters in the movie were non-distinct, and they could all have been extras and fillers, because no one really stood out. You could say that they are one-dimensional and generic.

If you enjoy disaster movies, there are some far better movies out there, and I can't really come up with a valid reason for recommending this movie, aside from if you are a fan of anyone on the cast list.

So many contrived aspects to create excitement. Fails miserably. The people do stupid things just to move along the action and it stinks. If you just want to watch semi-exciting scenes, without any rhyme or reason. then OK for you. Anyone who wants to have a reason for those scenes, forget it.

I think people are being a bit too harsh with their reviews.

First off, this is obviously not a Hollywood blockbuster.

Second, stop taking this movie seriously.

Get some friends, get some good food and some herb and get ready to laugh your a$$ off at a horrible attempt at a movie.

You have to appreciate that Dean Cain used to be Superman and is now in this low budget film.

Honestly, my favorite part of this movie was how unbelievable it was. I think if you have the right mindset, and aren't expecting Passenger 57 or Con-Air, you'll really enjoy how dumb this movie is.

One of my favorite things to do when I don't want to watch a good move, is to watch a bad movie. It's so much fun watching unbelievable plots with sub par acting and even worse special effects.

So, next time you watch a "bad" movie, remember to set your standards low and it might have be a great movie if you let it just be dumb.

I guess it's not for everyone. But, if you're taking life too seriously all the time, you'll miss gems like this movie. Cheers!

Dean Cain,Robin Givens & Lawrence Hilton – Jacobs.

a Kondelik movie.

Actually besides happening to be topical,This movie has a lot going for it.

Dean Cain is a 'Must' go – to of B-movie leading men having recently been on AMC 'Comic Book Men' with Kevin Smith.

Robin Givens as a scientist comes off as smart and half way through film removes her blouse.

Lawrence Hilton -Jacobs plays a Air Marshal,Take that ! Liam Neeson &' NON STOP' 'A' pictures.

Lots of special effects used real well and made it feel dangerous and toasty.

The supporting cast is led by two,One good guy ,TULLY : Morgan West,Who had a lot of emoting and lines and The Bad – CRIEGER :David Vega,Who was a stereotype middle eastern early on and then became this maniac with an amazing penchant for beating good to death.

*** Watch this !
