Movie Reviews of VolcanoMovie Review: The perfect volcano - Tar Pits, drain tunnel, in the ocean. Summary: 5 Stars. The movie starts with a emergency at St Vincent Hospital followed by an earthquake
2. "I hate that when that happens." Californians deal with disaster like it was common event, says the News anchor women reporter.
3. "Not to panic, please stay calm. Small to moderate earth quake in palmdale"
4. Mike is director of the Office of emergency management. It Mikes day off with his daughter.
5. Career heavy, Mike should be on vacation, divorced, and spending time with Kelley his only daughter.
6. Post earthquake, phone and power lines are up.
7. Speculation that a new fault system exists under Los Angels system.
8. Gas explosion in the MacArthur park, 7 deaths, thought initially to be an erupted steam pipe, but later reported as unknown.
9. Your not happy if you not declaring an emergency.
10. 30,000 people think they are taking the train tonight, says the Rail construction chief.
11. 5 feet of concrete walls in the storm drain, hot gases kill 7 public works individuals
12. Mike yells, "Find me a geologist"
13.Mojave desert 60 miles away, earthquake
14. Volcano lava flow starts in the tar pits
15. Mike declares the disaster level 1
16. Daughter, Kelly with 2nd degree burn
17. Dr J colter transports injured firemen rescued and Mikes daughter to the hospital.
18. The daugher screams "I promise I won't get in the way" as she is transported away.
19. Lava snaking its way down stanley avenue.
20. It is a warzone. Grey ash starts to fall.
21. Watch the Lava bombs and see where it will land.
22. The geologist wants to evaculate the westside, a million people, from lava stream that will extend too the ocean. Mike knows this is an impossible plan consider the speed of the lava flow.
23. Mike says "run to the hills and hide, I can't do that", a battle against the lava
24. The geolist tells Mike, the main eruption has not occurred
25. Public works to create concrete barrackads.
26. The Geologist says, "We are dealing with very determined stuff." Plan one, try to cool the lava and create a crust. It is a miracle. Hundreds of firefighter, water drops, and a concrete barrier manage to freeze the lava flow. They have accomplished the impossible.
27. There has to be a source, something feeding this. However, the lava is moving from the drain system, installed, and moving fast.
28. I want to be like Mike, red line subway, Holly Hill storm drain, onto the ocean, extend 200 yards, in 20 minutes. The contours are wrong, plan fails. The Hospital and its 2,000 occupants are at risk.
29. New plan, knock a new 20 story building (accross from the Beverly center) down by precision explosion and create a rubble dam, in 20 minutes, and divert the lava to the ocean.
30. The desparate strategy paid off. The lava diverted the ocean.Mike, Kelly, and the little boy are Ok. The volcano is shutting down. Look at their faces they all look the same
Summary of VolcanoWhen a volcano erupts in the La Brea tar pits and sends a stream of lava down Wilshire Blvd., the city Emergency Officer organizes a crew to channel the lava to a safe area. Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure Rating: PG13 Release Date: 1-JUN-2004 Media Type: DVD Get mindless for awhile with this 1997 disaster flick, starring the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles as a funky place for lava to spew, plus Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche as the brave souls who know how to shut off the spout. Director Mick Jackson (The Bodyguard) wastes no time getting to the good stuff--it's happening even before opening credits are over--and neither should anyone in the mood for technical efficiency without the burden of art. --Tom Keogh
