wes-connors Before the opening credits, rugged park ranger Richard Burgi (as Charlie Young) parachutes into a hellish countryside to rescue his pretty blonde daughter MyAnna Buring (as Claire) and her muscular young boyfriend Alex Wyndham (as Josh). The attempt appears to fail as lava covers the screen. After the credits, we meet our fourth principal player, Disaster Management Agency (DMA) volcanologist Juliet Aubrey (as Kate Brooks). She is helpless as volcanic activity covers North America and the rest of the world. Earth is about to explode when we flashback, "Two Days Earlier." Yellowstone National Park is peaceful until Mr. Wyndham finds a sexually-inclined couple scorched by a sudden blast of hot water. This is interesting as Rafael Jordan's story then proceeds like a horror movie, with the volcano as its monster. However, a disconnected science-fiction time-travel angle and cheesy special effects make it look too silly.**** Super Eruption (3/8/11) Matt Godd ~ Richard Burgi, Juliet Aubrey, MyAnna Buring, Alex Wyndham

TheLittleSongbird In fact I found this movie pretty awful. Not the worst I've seen from SyFy, but this is little consolation. The premise seemed decent if not exactly new territory, and I have seen some of the actors before and I wouldn't call them bad actors overall(I am especially looking at MyAnna Buring). But you would never guess seeing here. It is not terrible or hilariously bad as much, but nobody is really believable and come across as bland. It doesn't help that the script is so cheesy, wishy-washy and sometimes confused too, or that you don't care for the characters at all, for they continue to be written in an underdeveloped and stereotypical manner. The music is both forgettable and sluggish-sounding. But where Super Eruption really falls down is in the story and special effects. The story is a good, if as I've said familiar, but it manages to be predictable and preposterous, with the whole business about the main character being able to see and talk to herself from a different dimension through a computer doesn't make sense, was superfluous to the entire story and with a slightly longer length the film could've explained this much more. The romance was clichéd and hokey as well. I have seen worse effects like in Titanic II, but the ones here do still look fake and as though they were made in a rush. All in all, awful instead of super, dull instead of interesting and preposterous instead of plausible or thrilling, in short not SyFy's worst but still a disaster of a film. 1/10 Bethany Cox

manjodude Well, well, well! I feel a bit bad for all the actors in Super Eruption. They all seemed sincere and really good in their roles especially Richard Burgi as the forest ranger Charles Young and Juliet Aubrey as volcano expert Kate. But...the average visual effects and overall negative opinions on the movie making ensures low viewership for this movie, and thereby low publicity for these actors.The effects and the shaky, shaky story are the downfall or I could say, erupted all chances for Super Eruption to succeed commercially :p In many places, the visuals looked fake. Must be a budget issue. I still don't understand why producers take the risk of adding special effects to many scenes if they can't make them realistic or at least very close to it. It's a recipe for disaster as the viewers will quickly lose interest. Let the effects be minimal and create more engaging drama or suspense among the characters.Amidst all the volcano panic, we've our major characters even interacting with people from the future! That looked extreme but I wouldn't mind if this was a highly-funded movie and things could have been made more convincing. But when you've only a "family" budget(sorry), they could have gone easy with the story. That "futuristic" interaction left a mess and made me really confused.And pray, what was actor MyAnna Buring(as Claire) doing here and why?! After being in major roles like that in the amazing chill flick, The Descent? Verdict: Stay far from the sloppy eruption!

Edwin Kort *might contain spoilers*This movie almost made me want to cry.Worst script ever. Just looks like some disaster movies put together. Some doctor develops an theory about vulcanology and then it all happens. Then she is called on her computer from the future. In the end she solves the problem. Together with her future self she develops a plan to rescue the Earth. Dialogue was terrible. I myself found that the as was looking like some sort of cereal being cooked and thrown around. This should not even qualify as Science Fiction movie, as the only thing which could be Science Fiction like was the call from the future.All in all, this movie is very poor, and not worth watching.
