One of my all time favorites.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
The acting in this movie is really good.
I've given it a 2 because I haven't seen the whole movie and therefore can't give it a 1. The script is terrible.'Copy that.' 'Roger that.' 'Ok, let's go'. 'Let's move out now.' 'We've got to go now'.(not exactly, but that sort of thing)...although this is a direct quote. 'If I give you any more, it will overload and game over.'It's complete dross.The directing is also terrible. And the acting, although to be honest, I think you have to let them off, given the quality of the script.I could say more, but it's just not worth it.
"Super Eruption" did have potential, sure it wasn't going to be the next "Volcano", but still, it had potential to be a good enough movie. That is right up until they introduced the aspect where Kate (played by Juliet Aubrey) started to getting TV broadcasts from herself from the future. When that happened, then the entire line just snapped and the movie went spiraling downhill fast.The story is about the volcano that lie underneath Yellowstone that starts to come to life and threatens to obliterate all life on Earth, and manages to do so, but given the help from herself in the future, Kate comes up with a plan to cool down the magma and save planet Earth from extinction.Right, very plausible storyline right there. That storyline was so outrageous and preposterous that it was impossible to buy into. And the overall lack of anyone ever being in any real danger, didn't really help to move the movie to make the audience believe that the entire planet was in danger of becoming extinct."Super Eruption" is a low budget version of "Volcano" with a slightly more megalomaniac aspect that was just downright ridiculous.I will say that the magma and lava effects were actually cool - pardon the pun - most of the time, and looked believable enough.As for the acting, well people were doing alright with what they had to work with - which was very little - so given that, then thumbs up for the actors and actresses for trying their best. No one really stood out in any particular way here, neither good, nor bad."Super Eruption" was also as predictable as these types of natural disaster movies come. You know exactly what the movie will end like, and sure enough, it did! And it is really hard to buy into this whole thing where one or two people save the entire world from extinction - it just doesn't seem plausible.If you enjoy volcanic movies, then "Super Eruption" is good enough for a single watching, if you don't mind that whole 'salvation message from the future' take on the storyline. However, don't expect to be dazzled or impressed in any way.
I was looking forward to watching a new and exciting disaster movie this evening. This movie was a total waste of my two hours. Although the basic story is good - Yellowstone erupting, which scientists say is inevitable, the storyline is totally ludicrous. The scenes where the main character sees and talks to herself through her computer, from apparently another dimension, makes no sense whatsoever and doesn't add a thing to the story. The special effects as well are just pitiful.If there's nothing else to watch on TV and you don't care about wasting two hours, then go for it; otherwise, you'll be better off spending that time reading a good book. I wish that's what I had done! In my opinion, this is one of many badly scripted made-for-TV science fiction movies that has come out of Hollywood in the past two decades. Seems they don't know how to make them anymore!
*might contain spoilers*This movie almost made me want to cry.Worst script ever. Just looks like some disaster movies put together. Some doctor develops an theory about vulcanology and then it all happens. Then she is called on her computer from the future. In the end she solves the problem. Together with her future self she develops a plan to rescue the Earth. Dialogue was terrible. I myself found that the as was looking like some sort of cereal being cooked and thrown around. This should not even qualify as Science Fiction movie, as the only thing which could be Science Fiction like was the call from the future.All in all, this movie is very poor, and not worth watching.
