Very best movie i ever watch
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This film is a mock buster that has nothing to do with another film recently released that has "Pompeii" in its title. Asylum did something similar with the "Three Musketeers" a few years back, making a movie with a similar name, but in a different time period.This film follows the same identical plot as all of Asylum disaster films. Family separates. Disaster strikes. Super Dad (Adrian Paul) rescues family. In this film the teen daughter (Georgina Beedle) turns into Bill Nye the science guy to save everyone from a volcano. The acting was Asylum grade.The film answers the question: If 100 monkeys were placed at 100 type writers, could they eventually come up with an Asylum script?The film is overly CG. The early question I have was why did the opening scene contain a view of Rio and then have volcanoes go off somewhere else? The cross at Rio is the most recognized landmark in the world. Then we have John Rhys-Davies as Colonel Dillard, except he is now Carlos Dillard as opposed to Colonel Ralph Dillard from "100 Degrees Below Zero" when Europe was destroyed. Who would notice? cheese film. Not as cheesy as "100 Degrees Below Zero" but it tries.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
APOCALYPSE POMPEII is your usual trashy disaster movie that comes courtesy of Asylum, who released it as a rip-off of the not-much-better POMPEII. This one sees former HIGHLANDER Adrian Paul escorting his family around the ruins of Pompeii when Vesuvius erupts again, plunging them all into danger. The whole story sees various characters assailed by the usual heat surges, ash clouds, and lava, and it plays out in a shlocky and cheap-looking way with a maximum of cheesy CGI effects. The old-timer of the cast is none other than John Rhys-Davies, playing the same military role as he one he had in 100 DEGREES BELOW ZERO, and it says something that even his presence doesn't raise a smile.
Nothing wrong with this film, okay some of it doesn't make any sense, for example why are they the only ones in pompeii, when I can imagine if it lousy with tourists the whole time, and why is the guy out of indiana Jones in charge of an Italian army helicopter. For those who dis this film remember what channel it's on, how cheap it probably was and how much worse most of it's ilk are. it moves quickly, has a pretty girl in it and a good number of explosions. the effects are okay and it sort of makes sense. It's a cheap and cheerful disaster movie, if that's the sort of thing you like (and I do), then cool, watch it, otherwise don't
I like Adrian Paul so I suffered through this. The worst acting and special effects I have ever seen. So disappointed. The acting was so wooden and dialogue so cheesy it needed a barrel of wine to go with it. Maybe the barrel of wine would dull the pain. I am wondering how Adrian Paul and John Rhys-Davies lent their names to such an obviously subgrade project. Especially Rhys-Davies who has been in some really big blockbuster movies. What exactly is that thought process? The base material is not so bad it's a good idea, but it needed to be executed in a different manner. There were lots of holes and contradictions scientifically as well. I often wonder what actors are thinking before they take on any given project. For this one, the main motivation had to be money because I can't see any of them thinking this was a good project after a script was submitted to them.
