I have always suspected the tar pits of being a hot bed of adversity. And who knows what those nasty faults are planning for us. All in all this is as good as any other disaster movie with the exception that it brings the disaster home to you and not in some remote location. The acting is as good as any disaster movie. Tommy Lee Jones is a good selection and carries of his character to a tee. With the lava creeping around you have plenty of time to say “watch out” and “stay in the car.”

クライマックスはもう、リアリティー放棄の世界です。そして鼻につくアメリカ万歳映画でもあります。VFXは素晴らしいですが典型的なハリウッドの映画。同時期に制作されたゲイル・アン・ハード制作の「ダンデス・ピーク」の方がチープですが面白い。
