Dante's Peak Ratings & Reviews
- ayayronFebruary 23, 2025James Bond and Sarah Connor try outrunning a pyroclastic flow
- ArtemisNovaMarch 25, 2026Of the two volcano movies that exist this is the better one. It's not saying much but it's honest work. Generic so far as disaster movies go but it does what you'd expect from it with a good cast and special effects.
- mickerdooOctober 22, 2025Grandma is annoying. But other than that, it's an exciting film with an incredible effects undertaking that turned out really astonishing.
- Christopher HowardFebruary 3, 2026It's a classic!!!
- M08YJanuary 21, 2026A pretty generic disaster movie with an excellent cast and FANTASTIC special effects. Dante's peak is, on paper, a fairly underwhelming film. Coming out at a time where disaster movies were pretty commonplace, it needed something special to stand out. To stand out from it's competition, Dante's Peak relies HEAVILY on miniatures to really bring the disaster to life and it really does look amazing. The other aspect that elevates Dante's Peak to "memorable" status is the cast. Brosnan and Hamilton are excellent here and genuinely seem to enjoy working together. The support cast are all fine and even the annoying characters are redeemed. For some reason, it took over 1 year from ordering the 4K bluray to it showing up at my house, but it was worth the wait. This might be one of my favorite discs. The special effects, being done with miniatures, lend themselves very well to the 4K treatment. Combined with a good transfer, the picture quality is truly something to behold. The audio was pretty good too. Overall an excellent 4K experience.
- JakeysDecember 28, 2025Way better than Volcano. It's not gonna win any accuracy awards, but it's super entertaining and Brosnan/Hamilton are great.
- beefdawgAugust 22, 2025James Bond and Sarah Connor get personally victimised by a mountain. A fun watch.
- ርልዪረFebruary 1, 2025Typical disaster movie about a volcanic eruption and the destruction it causes to the town and Pierce Brosnan is brought in to monitor and tell the townsfolk to evacuate with the help of the Mayor Linda Hamilton.
