S.O.S: Éruption en plein vol

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.

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.

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.

This is a disaster B-Movie, its title is "Airplane Vs. Volcano"... yet looking at the reviews here, it would seem some people were expecting a blockbuster of multi-Oscar winning potential and a stella intellectual delight.

Those people are idiots who expect too much.

The acting is everything you would expect from one of these movies, the effects and plot follow suit.

The purpose of this movie is to allow your brain 90 minutes of rest, in that this movie succeeds.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride, let a laugh escape as you gaze in disbelief at some of the huge leaps it takes with logic.

But overall if you're a fan of these films you know what to expect and will enjoy it, for everyone else who just came here because of the flashy poster, amusing title, perhaps you just have a love for Dean Cain, or maybe you're just curious how a plane can take on a volcano? Whichever is your reason, this movie will serve its purpose for you, there are much worse movies of this genre out there (Titanic II, or Snow Sharks for example), at least this one avoids the teen frat boys at a drunken party feel.

In the immortal words of Bruce Lee in "Enter The Dragon"... "Don't think.... Feel" and you will have a fun 90 minutes. otherwise you can just sit there mocking and feeling offended that someone could release a movie of this style like so many of the other (clearly snooty) reviewers

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.
