Dante's Peak (1997)
Its alright
When I was but a wee boy i thought this was the most terrifying movie ever created. I recently re-watched it and have decided that it is nothing better then mediocre.
At a glance its just a movie about a volcano erupting and the people around it trying not to die; but when you take a more in depth look at it you come to the realization that it is, in fact, nothing more than just that.
For all its flaws however it isn't a boring movie and it manages to trundle through its runtime without making me want to switch it off.
Brosnan manages to carry the movie on his shoulders but the movie itself comes across as rather cliche, we know that he and the other main characters are going to make it out the other side; and of course there is some emotional deaths dotted about, but even they can be seen coming from a mile away.
Although it isn't the best disaster movie out there it is far from the worse, especially some of the more recent ones (perhaps starring Dwayne Johnson). And finally if someone were to ask me to recommend a volcano disaster movie, this would likely be the first one to spring into my mind.
Baby Driver (2017)
Hands down the best new movie I've seen in the past few years
Not much to say; very, very good movie.
Well scripted and acted without a single flaw
Never a boring moment, always on the edge of the seat
Would highly recommend to anyone, whether they like cars and action or not
