Airplane vs. Volcano

Right, well with a title like "Airplane vs Volcano" you know exactly what you are getting yourself into. Despite that, then I was a bit skeptic when I saw The Asylum name make an appearance on the screen during the opening scenes. But still, I continued to watch the movie, because it might just be one of those rare instances where The Asylum completely surprises with a unique experience...

...But that was not the case. Not by a long shot.

This movie was ridiculous in concept and execution. A massive ring of volcanoes erupt in a violent outburst, trapping a commercial airplane in the midst. And the only people on the entire world paying attention to it is a small group of soldiers stationed in something that looks more like an outdoor shack dressed up to be a military command post than it actually looked like an official military installation.

The CGI effects weren't too bad actually, I will say that much. But the constant repetitive usage of scenes was wearing thin within no time, even if the director tried to throw off the audience by flipping and mirroring the scene. But come on, it fools no one.

The characters in the movie were non-distinct, and they could all have been extras and fillers, because no one really stood out. You could say that they are one-dimensional and generic.

If you enjoy disaster movies, there are some far better movies out there, and I can't really come up with a valid reason for recommending this movie, aside from if you are a fan of anyone on the cast list.

This was undoubtedly the worst movie i've ever seen. (And I've seen a lot) A 10 year old could have come up with a better story line. Not only is it not realistic, it lacks logical sense as well. Even if that was OK, they've tried to squeeze in too many such stories into one.

Had they tried to work on one scenario, its may have been watchable at least. It was actually funny to watch and wonder if the director actually thought it was possible?

The graphics in the movie are horrid as well. I can't believe they made this type of movie in 2014.

Do yourself a favour and don't watch this.

So many contrived aspects to create excitement. Fails miserably. The people do stupid things just to move along the action and it stinks. If you just want to watch semi-exciting scenes, without any rhyme or reason. then OK for you. Anyone who wants to have a reason for those scenes, forget it.

If you like movies like Two headed shark or Sharknado , this is something for you. There is some extra entertainment if you try and spot the errors in backdrop, equipment or just the bad extras in the background.

Some CGI scenes gets shown 5 or 6 times, but the movie actually does a good job of picturing a hellish place to fly around in.

Every scene where they try and get some sympathy or emotion from you or the actors fall dead flat, perhaps the writers next time should do a pure action movie without kids or women ? They could also do well by study some military from the inside instead of watching "Full metal jacket" 5 times in a row.

Asylum have done way worse movies than this.

If the caption bought you here then please click right away to the next movie on your list. The movie opens with such pathetic way. Actors shame themselves with college fest show. To keep it precise and short the movie lacks any suspense. At times when imagination runs wild and you expect something to happen the scene cuts to the next shot. The props are below par and some seismic reading equipment look like some hydrophone recorder. Folks trust me and jet off !!! Please don't go by the ratings of other users who sometimes over-rate or under rate movies. If at all please see that average users will always warn you to avoid these crap movies. Un-interesting avoid at all costs.
