It simply ticks all theAn incredibly enjoyable, engaging and atmospheric disaster flick. Filled with spectacular practical effects, edge of your seat set-pieces and characters actually worth investing in, Dante's Peak for me is a rare treat. It simply ticks all the boxes of a good, well made disaster film. It has two very likeable leads, the narrative is grounded and not over the top like a lot of other films in this genre and the setting/cinematography is sublime. It's a very well paced picture too, it flows by seamlessly and before you know it the film is finished. Dante's Peak truly deserves the recognition of being one of the best disaster films ever made, it is simply an enjoyable and entertaining movie that can appeal to just about anyone. What will strike you most about the film is how real the characters feel, how they react to this situation, how the plot builds excellently to the big finale and overall, just how fun it is to watch. Dante's peak as a film is 6/10, as a disaster film it sits up their with the best and deserves a solid 8/10.… Expand

It's no masterpiece. But It's exciting.
