Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I know it's a sci-fi movie but I like disaster movies and don't really care how unrealistic they are.


I keep seeing ads on the sci-fi channel for Sunday night! Here is does say Sat, though. I guess I will check out Sat.

An illegal experiment accidentally rips open a previously unknown magma reserve — directly under Manhattan! It's up to Costas Mandylor (Picket Fences) to fix the damage before the Big Apple gets baked from below. Michael Ironside (Starship Troopers) and Baywatch's Alexandra Paul co-star.

SCI-FI CONTINUES TO DO STUPID MOVIES! NOTHING NEW. I SAW THE COMMERCIAL, AND THE LAVA FLOWING THROUGH NEW YORK CITY IS THE MOST COMPUTER BASED THING IN THE WORLD. IT JUST LOOKS SO UNREAL, SO COMPUTER-BASED, THAT IS NOT WORTH TO SEE IT. BY THE WAY, ALWAYS ONE PERSON THAT HAS MARITAL PROBLEMS SAVES THE WORLD.

Agreed, Sandy! Also, have you noticed that it is always "illegal experiments" and all that Communist conspiracy theory mumbo-jumbo that triggers those diasters?

If I have extra time I'll watch it, but if I don't then I'm not going to cry about it. The plot is not original at all, such movies about volcanic eruptions surfacing right in the downtowns of major cities have been seen before, and they aren't too bad, although the lava is way fake. IMO it doesn't have to be all real to interest me, just full of action.

I also agree. I like the Los Angeles movie (VOLCANO) because it looks very real, specially the lava!

Yes that was the one I was refering to, but IMO the lava didn't look real, especially the last scene when they diverted the lava into the ocean. But anyway I really enjoyed that movie. But of course like all movies they had to have some romance at the end.

Agree. I think is human nature to put some romance in such disaster-based movies. The destruction has to be compensated with love!!!

Lol I love these B grade disaster movies. They are so implausible, and often times right down absurd, kind of like the Weather Channel specials :wink:

lol, so we've seen in the movies:
1. An earthquake destory new York (actually, there's 2 or 3 movies of this sort--all of them horrible)
2. A comet (a horrifically bad movie from the late 70s. Watching it is like watching a trainwreck)
3. Aliens, so many movies they're innumerable
4. Godzilla and or other monsters
5. A storm so big and severe it flash freezes the entire northern Hemisphere instantly turning NYC into a glacier and causing wolves to suddenly appear from nowhere and eat people


so logically, the Volcano was the only way to go. :lol:

Yeesh, and I thought "Snakehead Terror" was bad. :lol:

Well, at least this movie can't be as predictable as that one was. Snakehead Terror was pretty much Jaws, only with mutant snakehead fish in Maryland. Lots of "time loops". :lol:

Something to learn from this movie: Never open the door when magma wants to come out of your burning house that you can't see from the outside that it's burning, and you don't smell in the garden that your house is burning.

:na: :Pick:

These movies can't be more stupid. By the way, who can't forgot "Raptor Island." The most stupid of the stupidest movies.

They do if a government organization like the Army experiments on them and then releases them into the wild by accident. (also done with Boa Constrictors, Pythons, Alligators, Rabbits, and Scorpions.) :lol: :lol: :lol:
