So much better than Volcano. I saw them both a few months apart.


I love LOTR trilogy, and films by Dustin Hoffman and Bill Murray just for reference, and I was very thrilled with Dante's Peak. The acting of the two leads was great, believable, and the kids were very good actors, grandma was a bit weak at the end, but it's hard to recreate you're dying in acid. The effects were amazing for 15 years ago. Volcano was boring script-wise. Tommy is great but the movie was bland.

Get this on DVD!

I just finished watching this a few minutes ago and I soooo agree with you! What a thrilling experience. I saw this movie when I was like 9 years old and I remember loving it, but I was afraid of watching it as an adult because I thought I was going to hate it. Boy was I wrong! I really really enjoyed it! It is at least an 8/10 for me if only for fun factor.
