Super Eruption

Super Eruption: A Solid B-Movie Made Possible By (and for) SyFy
Super Eruption: A Solid B-Movie Funded By SyFy

There are few phrases that inspire so much fear in people. "Direct-to-DVD" is one of them. "SyFy Presents" is another. Sadly, both of those monikers can apply to SUPER ERUPTION, and that's a shame because, as a flick, it works just fine. No, not all of it makes perfect sense. No, not all of it is original - many of the story's central tenets are borrowed wholesale from other films that have served them greater justice. But there's something to be said for a telefilm that knows what it is - a telefilm - just doing the best it can to set up, execute, and deliver a story for Saturday night folks with their butts parked firmly on the couch.

Interesting but slow
This story had an interesting twist to it and the actors really tried to make it work. But, honestly, for a disaster movie it is pretty slow moving.

Do not waste your money on this joke of a sci-fy film!
This film featured poor acting, a rediculous plot, and amateur graphics. It appeared to have been written in an afternoon and shot in one day. Don't bother with this one!
