Jan 23, 2017Let's start with the positive: the movie looks great, the visuals and effects really work. Little else does, though. The cast acts wooden, the story is predictable and boring, borrowing many elements from Gladiator and the end is cheesy as hell. Overall a real waste of time.Jens S Super Reviewer

Dec 25, 2014From a narrative point of view, this is an uninspired hodgepodge that simply recycles every cliché and convention of the genre (including an indestructible villain), being only worth it for the amusing, great-looking catastrophe, the nice score and Kit Harington's spectacular abs.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Aug 24, 2014If you don't know the story but seen the trailer then you will probably guess how it all ends, It did feel like a B-movie version of Gladiator, With some poor acting and dialogue, It plods along with some ok action scenes nothing new, I must admit when the volcano erupts it got better, The effects were pretty good and entertaining, I can't comment on the 3D as I watched the 2D version but I would of thought it wouldn't of made a great deal of difference, It's an ok film with some ok action, Great special effects but nothing more.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Aug 15, 2014The volcano ain't the only disaster vying for screen time in this block-bust of a flick. Chief among the disasters is Kiefer Sutherland, who puts on ill-fitting airs and an absurd British accent that seems to have been developed to entertain the minions at a children's garden party in North Hollywood. Kit Harington has lost any luster rubbed off from the Game of Thrones series, deadpanning his way through the muddle. The script is silly and defies probability. However, the special effects are pretty awesome with lots of hell fire and explosions to entertain the otherwise bored audience.Christian C Super Reviewer
