DVD Reviews of Dante's PeakDVD Review: BOGIE Summary: 4 StarsGood action flick. Movie was filmed in the old silver mining town of Wallace Idaho. When speaking with several of the locals there, they told me they actually closed the town for a period of time while filming.. Had a great lunch there in a restaurant called the 1313.
DVD Review: Great Film for Earth Science Classes Summary: 5 StarsI teach sixth grade Earth Science and show this film to my classes every year after completing the chapter on volcanoes. It is an excellent representation of volcanology. The director is a trained geologist and was meticulous with the information and the visual effects of volcanic eruptions. It also has an entertaining story line that keeps the students' attention (except for maybe during the few romantic scenes).
I have enjoyed it myself, even watching it so frequently...it's just a wonderful film.

DVD Review: good movie Summary: 5 StarsI don't need to write what it is about because the first review is perfect. It is a good movie & much better then the other volcano movie and I have seen both of them & I lived by the tar pits when I was a child. both are good but this one is the better of the two.
Description of Dante's PeakWithout warning day becomes night. Air turns to fire and solid ground gives way to white-hot molten terror. Brace yourself for action-packed earth shaking thrills and whatever you do do not look back. Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton star in an epic adventure from Director Roger Donaldson that will blow you away! Erupting with spectacular special effects heart-pounding suspense romance and remarkable characters.Starring: Pierce Brosnan Linda Hamilton and Charles HallahanDirector: Roger DonaldsonCopyright: 1997 Universal Pictures Produced by Gale Anne Hurd Joseph M. Sing; written by Leslie Bohem; running time of 109 minutes; Closed Captioned.System Requirements:English: Dolby Digital 5.1 Spanish and French Languages: Dolby Surround Spanish Subtitles Dual Layer Anamorphic Widescreen 2:35:1 Audio Commentary with Director Original Documentary "Getting Close to the Show" Behind-the-Scenes footage special effects coverage plus other exciting material Dolby Surround tracks contain up to 4 channels of encoded audio/Playback from 2-channel DVD outputs is compatible with stereo an Dolby Pro Logic reproductionFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:?PG-13 UPC:?025192014925 Manufacturer No:?61020149 The first of 1997's volcano disaster movies (the second being Volcano) was arguably the better of the two, but both of them made for passable entertainment with some spectacular special effects to serve as icing on the stale cake. After all, Dante's Peak doesn't pretend to be anything more than an updated variation on a whole catalog of disaster movie clich?s. Despite all that, it's reasonably enjoyable. It's an added bonus that the script is just smart enough to allow Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton to play their roles with straight faces, never condescending to the audience of the formulaic story. He's a volcano expert from the U.S. Geological Survey, and she's the mayor of a cozy Washington State town perched beneath a volcano that's about to blow. Telltale signs are everywhere, so evacuation must be carried out immediately. Of course, not everybody's eager to leave, and even some of Brosnan's colleagues think his alarm is premature. This sets the stage for massive ash clouds, rivers of raging mud and molten rock, flattened forests, and death-defying escapes by Brosnan, Hamilton, and some (but not all) of her family, friends, and townsfolk. So what if it's all pretty flaky... and can a four-wheel-drive vehicle travel over fire and molten lava without bursting its tires? Don't ask too many questions, and you'll find Dante's Peak to be (if you'll pardon the pun) a total blast. The Collector's Edition DVD includes a documentary about volcanoes, Getting Close to the Show, in addition to behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive coverage of the creation of special effects, and audio commentary with director Roger Donaldson. --Jeff Shannon
