Review of Dante's Peak

Dante's Peak (1997)
7/10
Realistic yet nothing more than an f/x feast

Warning: Spoilers
One has to ask the question: Are special effects taking over action movies? "Dante's Peak" is most certainly full of very authentic, spectacular visuals.

The special effects go wild in the last twenty minutes of this edge of your seat volcano thriller. It is just a shame that it takes the entire time before this to build up to such an exciting crescendo.

The cast, though enjoyable, are really only there for the rocks to fall on. Pierce Brosnan, Linda Hamilton, Charles Hallahan, Jamie Renee Smith, Jeremy Foley, various other support cast and a smart effects team make you believe it is really happening.
