Dante's Peak
A volcanologist forlorn over the loss of his wife in the Mt. Pinatubo eruption arrives at a small Pacific Northwest town to investigate the rumblings of the local dormant volcano. Though he instantly fears the worse, he must convince the skeptical townspeople and his suspicious superiors who believe he is overreacting in the aftermath of his own tragedy. The beautiful, widowed mayor of the picturesque town believes him, however, and soon they find themselves in a fight for their lives as "Dante's Peak" blows its stack ten miles high, raining ash and fire over everything in its shadow.

Pierce Brosnan's vulcanologist sees the warning signs for major lava problems in the small mountainside town but no one will believe him, in a typically FX-orientated 1990s disaster flick. Like the same year's larger-scale Volcano, this has some corking digital magma and a lot of cardboard in its path. Director Roger Donaldson handles things in the same way he did in Species, papering over dialogue and character deficiencies with some exciting set pieces as buildings crumble and roads receive a molten overcoat. Brosnan and romantic interest Linda Hamilton offer serviceable performances, but they're battling against more than just the elements.

Pierce Brosnan plays a serious scientific character, quite different to James Bond or Remington Steele and Linda Hamilton is the Mayoress of a small town. Sounds odd, but it works really well and they are two really good actors together in this production. The plot is excellent with a couple of surprises and a very good ending. Good family film! Enjoy!
