    a good break from reality

    i find all of the science fiction movies enjoyable because we get a break from the strain of real life. Don't knock what you don't know....Dec 21st 2012....122112....what will happen, maybe nothing but Yellowstone is the largest volcano on the planet and an eruption could almost wipe out our civilization. Were the Mayans right? wait till next year....i like these disaster movies, they are someone's visions of the future. If you don't like the science fiction channel then go watch Dr. Phil or better still talk to him. Since the warnings have started about 2012 being the end of the world, no one really knows what will happen, a catastrophe caused by other planets or the sun? plates shifting due to massive earthquakes and volcanoes? OR the collapse of the world monetary system, no more banks, no money, dog eat dog and we wipe out our civilization ourselves? But if things start happening like you have seen on these kind of movies you will be prepared.

    Super is not the best way to describe this movie...

    In fact I found this movie pretty awful. Not the worst I've seen from SyFy, but this is little consolation. The premise seemed decent if not exactly new territory, and I have seen some of the actors before and I wouldn't call them bad actors overall(I am especially looking at MyAnna Buring). But you would never guess seeing here. It is not terrible or hilariously bad as much, but nobody is really believable and come across as bland. It doesn't help that the script is so cheesy, wishy-washy and sometimes confused too, or that you don't care for the characters at all, for they continue to be written in an underdeveloped and stereotypical manner. The music is both forgettable and sluggish-sounding. But where Super Eruption really falls down is in the story and special effects. The story is a good, if as I've said familiar, but it manages to be predictable and preposterous, with the whole business about the main character being able to see and talk to herself from a different dimension through a computer doesn't make sense, was superfluous to the entire story and with a slightly longer length the film could've explained this much more. The romance was clichéd and hokey as well. I have seen worse effects like in Titanic II, but the ones here do still look fake and as though they were made in a rush. All in all, awful instead of super, dull instead of interesting and preposterous instead of plausible or thrilling, in short not SyFy's worst but still a disaster of a film. 1/10 Bethany Cox

    Super Eruption, What's Your Function?

    Before the opening credits, rugged park ranger Richard Burgi (as Charlie Young) parachutes into a hellish countryside to rescue his pretty blonde daughter MyAnna Buring (as Claire) and her muscular young boyfriend Alex Wyndham (as Josh). The attempt appears to fail as lava covers the screen. After the credits, we meet our fourth principal player, Disaster Management Agency (DMA) volcanologist Juliet Aubrey (as Kate Brooks). She is helpless as volcanic activity covers North America and the rest of the world. Earth is about to explode when we flashback, "Two Days Earlier." Yellowstone National Park is peaceful until Mr. Wyndham finds a sexually-inclined couple scorched by a sudden blast of hot water. This is interesting as Rafael Jordan's story then proceeds like a horror movie, with the volcano as its monster. However, a disconnected science-fiction time-travel angle and cheesy special effects make it look too silly.

    Super Eruption

    Why, oh why, do I keep finding myself watching SyFy original movies. I guess it's for the same reason I keep eating Bicky Burgers. You know it's not good for you, that it'll give you zits and heartburn. But damn it, it's just easy too swallow. However after sitting through it, you do have watchers guilt. You could have spend the same amount of time to watch Sunset Blvd again. Or Rear Window. Or really anything else not made by the SyFy channel.

    Super Eruption is the unholy child of Dante's Peak and Frequency. Two movies I like very much. It's a cross made without any talent for screenwriting (often it feels like whole chunks of the movie are missing- like how did they get from here to there... could be I fell asleep. Could be bad writing. ) The special effects are far from special. They look like they were made by my grandmother using the Paint program on her Windows 95 computer.

    The actors are there, enjoying the Bulgarian sights, possibly evaluating their life's choices. Pretty much what I'm doing, every time I finish one of these things.

    Dante's nadir

    I feel this deserves more stars because its not easy to make a disaster movie this bad, but I have trouble giving it 3 stars (at least 1 star over). This is a rip off of Dante's Peak, even using similar music, mixed with a bit of Volcano and, surprisingly, Interstellar. It might be the best bad disaster movie I've ever seen, but it starred Juliet Aubrey, and she made it worth watching.
