User Reviews

I'm glad it's dubbed in English.

I bought the DVD a day ago from HMV ( It is titled "Raging Inferno" in English. ) and have just finished it. Just can't wait to recommend it to others. The storyline is simple ( and typical ) but its special effects contributes a lot in making it a must-watch. I will call it an updated version of the Towering Inferno, with the same excitement but more outstanding special effects. We do have some soaring towers picked to be landmarks in many places around the world. While I was watching it, I recalled my experience of visiting some of these TV towers such as the CN Tower in Toronto, Petronas Twins Tower in Kuala Lumpur and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai, etc. "Will that really happen?" "What if I were one of them up there?" were the questions I posted in my mind when viewing it. It's really an exciting movie to watch.
