Bill B @RT01438538 Jun 30, 2026 A surprisingly tense and action-packed thriller, although much of the science is rather hokey. The acting and direction are superior. See more W. W. W @Witt2k9 Jun 25, 2026 This kind dumb thing was only done by the russians in history. See more Michael H. @CaptainBeardo Jul 15, 2025 For apocalyptic disaster movies this picture is one of the better ones. Great cast and the science behind the story seems more realistic than most movies of this genre. Definitely a classic. See more Jack S @RT58840043 Jun 4, 2024 In a bid to release an inexhaustible energy supply, a terminally ill scientist resorts to the use of atomic weapons deep underground, with catastrophic consequences. The scientist (Andrews, typically solid here) is a perfectly believable and complex character who, naturally concerned with his own mortality, jumps the gun in a risky experiment—the main goal of which turns out to be to preserve his personal legacy, as well as impress his pretty, young wife. Unfortunately, the second half has Moore and Scott running out the clock fleeing various volcanoes/earthquakes in one often senseless (and not particularly suspenseful) scene after another. Although the finale is an intriguing idea, sad to say, it’s only weakly executed. The “special effects” such as they are, are mostly stock footage of atomic explosions, lava flows etc. See more Ronnie M @RT78892088 Oct 2, 2023 Great 1960's style Sci Fi. See more bill t @Spuzz Dec 6, 2022 I was all ready to dismiss this one based on my unfamiliarity with the title, but BOY, does this provide a lot of suspense mixed in with the science hookum that doesnt make a lot of sense to give us some solid entertainment. If you're interested in disaster films, I'd definitiely look this one up. See more Read all reviews
