Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Blaine Dixon SPOILERS SPOILERSIf your a fan of B disaster movies I cant recommend this "C" movie highly enough. Starring Adrian Paul (still looking good) ("The Highlander) as a ex special forces commando who is negotiating a big international security company deal that he is the CEO of. So he and his wife, 18 year old daughter (who is an amateur volcano and geological expert) she dresses like Lara Croft Tomb Raider (but so does every female tourist in the movie) but she has the longest legs, the lowest cut t-shirt and the shortest shorts!. Lots of overhead shots (from the viewpoint of falling ceilings) peering down her blouse. She and everyone else runs through the movie flashing the long legs and jiggling along. Obnoxious tourists get fire bombed by the Volcano etc. Paul quickly assembles a command special forces team to rescue them. His old war buddy is now the Colonel in Charge of Naples NATO base and by coincidence the Colonel is able to get old friends that everyone knows (except Lara Croft Senior) (Where did SHE come from) to help. They steal a NATO chopper. Its full of cliff hangers bad science bad history (dont try to ride out the volcano inside an old underground villa (thats what killed the Romans 2000 years ago! Lots of other B and C and D disaster movies on Amazon prime streaming
brookswieszczek Despite negative press, the film isn't a total disaster. This direct-to-video disaster film was released by the notoriously cheesy independent film group The Asylum on home video on February 18, 2014. The unrated film follows a Special Ops Commando on a trip in Pompeii who attempts to rescue his wife, his daughter, and a group of other people after the infamous Mount Vesuvius erupts once more, trapping them inside the ruins of Pompeii. The film stars Adrian Paul, Jhey Castles, and Georgina Beedle as the aforementioned family, who attempt to reunite with one another in the midst of all of the chaos. Also starring is John Rhys-Davies reprising his role from previous Asylum picture 100 Degrees Below Zero as Colonel Dillard, and, frankly, he's the best performer here by a long shot. The rest of the struggling group are rounded out by Dylan Vox, and Dan Cade among others. The 88-minute long film is stretched out just enough to reach a feature-length running time, making it feel like an episode of MacGyver, only with cheesy effects as a result. Now, I really don't have a lot to say about the movie. It's your typical movie by The Asylum with bad effects, alright acting, and stretched out pacing. But then again, this is why we watch these films: for ironic enjoyment. Honestly though, the film isn't as bad as some of The Asylum's disaster films such as Airplane vs. Volcano. Instead, it's just your typical, comfortably paced low-budget movie, acting well in a "watching a movie while you fall asleep" situation. Despite the fact that the movie is one of The Asylum's better films, it's still exactly what you expect: A short direct-to-video film with cheesy effects. But the movie is still not all bad. I thought the film was just Meh...
mannah-1 The only good thing about this movie is it's better than a infomercial for toilet cleaner . I had DVR'ed the movie and found that with the sound turned off it wasn't half bad , with sound it's less than half bad . I was checking on IMDb for where this was filmed but couldn't find it .It looks like California . If it was really Pompeii then travel must have been 80 % of the budget . Leaving 15% for food and 5% for screenplay and scripting . I do give the actors credit for trying though . And the choice of actors for the Mother and daughter was good . They were good for the eyes , both are attractive but all the actors were stiff and not convincing as being people trapped during an eruption .
lefter-silviu First of all, I gave 1 out of 10 because I don't have the option of giving a rating below 0. Words like cheap trash, time wasting, mind scrambler spring to mind! I am ready to sue somebody for my precious 30 minutes of life wasted away on this...this...I'm speechless. I am deeply disappointed with me for not letting it go after the trailer! In my 4 years of using IMDb I have never felt compelled to make an account. I had to now, in order to warn people about this movie. Do not watch it! Warn your friends. Protect your children!! No plot, no special effects, no acting, no directing, just a beautiful scenery badly used. Sir David Attenborough would cry his eyes out. Ben Demaree, please, I beg of you, learn to brew coffee or make beagles or something, and pick up another career. It's really not to late for you do do something with your life! This...this...this will just not work!
