Quotes

Dr. Goldschein: Are these figures just preliminary?
Lacey: Yes, the eruption began only 15 minutes ago.
Dr. Goldschein: And yet, it's exactly as we predicted. 12 Kilometer high plumes, 2000 tons of ash per second, the multiple earthquakes. This is going to carry on for a few days. We'd better start revising the model. We'll need data from the other sites as well. Call the monitoring stations. I want facts before I call the authorities.
Lacey: You really think this is it?
Dr. Goldschein: If the data holds to the model, I think it is.

User Reviews

So badly done, it's funny.

Bad acting, bad effects, bad script, bad all the way around. But I loved it. I couldn't stop laughing. The father is flying across the Atlantic in a little twin-engine plane and Air Traffic Control asks him to descend from 30,000 feet. What? There's a huge snowstorm that has shut down the airport in London and the father and new wife manage to rent a car. The steering wheel is on the wrong side for the UK. They're driving in a huge snowstorm with the temp well below freezing and rainwater is hitting their windshield along with the fake snow. An 8.4 earthquake hits Paris but many of the buildings, including the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe are still standing.

Here's a drinking game for the movie: take a drink every time the brother or sister fall down. I think I counted 30+ times. This is my new favorite "Worst Movie Ever." Invite your friends over to watch this really campy movie.
