Entertaining 90's disaster flick

Almost certainly not scientifically accurate (!!!!), "Volcano" is nonetheless a fantastic example of a mid-90's disaster movie, right down to Tommy Lee Jones' Mike Roark being one of those outsiders who predicts coming disaster quite accurately. But he never says "I told you so!", he just gets on and saves the world.TLJ (who is equally as good at playing heroes as he is villains, if you ask me) is well supported by Anne Heche and Don Cheadle, amongst others.Of course, the special effects are what we watch these movies for, and they don't disappoint - there are some really spectacular visuals. Seeing Los Angeles as the epicentre of a volcano is pretty cool. (Side note: Hollywood has really given that city a battering over the years!)Uncomplicated, entertaining stuff - fun!
