Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
How long will truck tires last on top of molten lava? A surprising amount of time, apparently, according to this wild and wildly improbable disaster movie. Pierce Brosnan stars as a government geologist who shows up in a small Washington town to check out an active volcano, and in doing so gets in the way of the local-development agenda of the mayor (Linda Hamilton). Mother Nature soon levels the playing field, however, quite literally, as the pair and sundry kids and others try to keep ahead of the volcano's many spin-off problems. Roger Donaldson (The Bounty) directed, and if the film is remembered for nothing else, its special effects are unnervingly realistic, no doubt drawn in part from research into the Mount St. Helens disaster. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, director commentary, behind-the-scenes material, and optional French and Spanish soundtracks, plus optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Volcano Disaster Movie
This was alright. If you have nothing else better to watch, this will pass the time quite adequately. This film came out at the height of the Hollywood Studios all taking advantage of the sudden interest in disaster movies, probably because special effects and visual effects were beginning to take off and they all wanted to experiment and the audience all wanted to see those things, or was just in the mood for cliched overly hyped entertainment with no heart or mind.

Rating: - The featurette alone is worth the price of the DVD
The making of... featurette was worth the price of the DVD. It was well made and informative. The commentary was excellent as well. I had already owned a laser disk copy of this film when I purchased it which was well done in terms of visual and audio so purchasing the DVD definitely gave me value adds in terms of the extras.
The film itself is well done if you like drama and action thrills.
Rating: - Pretty good....
Dante's Peak kept me interested throughout the whole film. I think it is a little too far fetched but was good all the same.
