This movie is the best volcano movie I have seen. The fx in this movie are awesome. It is a movie that you can watch over & over because it never gets tiring to watch. So I recommend, SEE THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!

OK, it's totally predictable from start to finish, and the effects are not ILM. But I gave this five stars for several reasons, not the least of which is, in spite of what it lacks, I enjoyed it. I was able to look past the fact that this is an ABC made-for-primetime-tv movie and not a gazillion dollar special effects vehicle. And it WAS the best thing out on the topic at the time - VOLCANO came slightly later or coincided with the broadcast. Fire On The Mountain managed to smoothly tell several pseudo-related stories and bring them all to a satisfactory conclusion within a time frame wrought with commercials. Better than that, the conclusion serves to put an abusive husband and stepfather in his rightful place: Underground. Three thumbs up (or however many you happen to be sporting). If you don't put this up against a box office blockbuster or spend your time scrutinizing effects, it's very possible to enjoy this movie.

This movie is the most exciting edge-of-your-seat volcano action movie out there is!! Micah Gardener does an incredible acting job as well.

Hard to know if this is a good movie or not since I failed to note the Region 2 (actually I was unaware at the time of the different region classifications for dvd's). It won't pay in Region 1 which is USA.

A cheapjack rip-off of DANTE's PEAK. A mountain town is threatened by a volcano, which consumes two young lovers at the start(so did PEAK!), and lo and behold, the townspeople do not believe the volcanologist who constantly warns everyone to evacuate. When the lava flows, it looks more like Heinz Tomato Soup! The effects are not awful enough to be cheesy! They are just simply laughable. And how do they save the town? see for yourself . . . and it had me thinking 'oh do me a favour.' Even SOUTH PARK has more realism than this low-grade turkey.
