Movie Reviews of Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York
Movie Review: "There's A Lady Present....Lady? I'm A Sand Hog!"
Summary: 1 Stars
This is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of really, really bad films. The premise is simple: a crazy scientist and an evil mayoral contender conspire to drill for geothermal energy under Manhattan, releasing a volcano under the city. In the process it's up to a group of tunnel diggers to drain the lava into the city sewer system.
Along the way we get a lesson on "sand hog" etiquette ("You gotta' earn that title, sweetheart!"), we see gratuitous intestinal spillage, and we see the romance of the lead sand hog and the brilliant geologist, Dr. Foxley, rekindled. Do not miss her emotion-packed dialogue: at one point she thanks her ex-husband by saying "Thank you former spouse". Yes, she really says that.
The film has the most ridiculous looking CGI effects in a recent production, and has perhaps the most spectacularly improbable cause-and-effect villain death in all movie history. (Think bullets and lava.) During the course of the movie the FBI is portrayed as dimwitted conspiracy theorists (they think the volcano is a terrorist plot), and wants the city put under martial law, which prompts many scenes of people fleeing from the ridiculous CGI ash clouds. On a brighter note, you may enjoy the "Sand Hog calendar" presentation before the closing credits. I enjoyed it because it signaled that the movie was nearly over: I bet you'll enjoy it too.
The DVD has no extras, which I actually consider a positive in this case, as I wanted to know nothing more about the film. This is a totally hackneyed and pretentious production, and should be avoided at all costs.
