“I first saw this with my friends in Regal theater, South Mumbai in 1997.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThose times there were no trailers or YouTube or any reviews. Enjoyed it a bit then but aft revisiting it, i found it to b lame.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film doesnt have any tension or suspense. It has the same lava stuff going on again n again. The best part is, the filmu0026#39;s name is Volcano but we dont get to see any mountain bursting. At times, the lava looked too fake. Even the plan and the strategy to contain/pool the lava and later divert the lavau0026#39;s direction is a big lol.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnne Hecheu0026#39;s character is a scientist but the character does stupid stuff.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only good thing is the way Stan Olber (John Carroll Lynch) saves the driver. The jumping into the lava flow n throwing the driver to safety is epic.”
