Reviews
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Blaine Dixon SPOILERS SPOILERSIf your a fan of B disaster movies I cant recommend this "C" movie highly enough. Starring Adrian Paul (still looking good) ("The Highlander) as a ex special forces commando who is negotiating a big international security company deal that he is the CEO of. So he and his wife, 18 year old daughter (who is an amateur volcano and geological expert) she dresses like Lara Croft Tomb Raider (but so does every female tourist in the movie) but she has the longest legs, the lowest cut t-shirt and the shortest shorts!. Lots of overhead shots (from the viewpoint of falling ceilings) peering down her blouse. She and everyone else runs through the movie flashing the long legs and jiggling along. Obnoxious tourists get fire bombed by the Volcano etc. Paul quickly assembles a command special forces team to rescue them. His old war buddy is now the Colonel in Charge of Naples NATO base and by coincidence the Colonel is able to get old friends that everyone knows (except Lara Croft Senior) (Where did SHE come from) to help. They steal a NATO chopper. Its full of cliff hangers bad science bad history (dont try to ride out the volcano inside an old underground villa (thats what killed the Romans 2000 years ago! Lots of other B and C and D disaster movies on Amazon prime streaming
panther_husky First of all, more thought into the research of Pompeii was needed and any person who has visited Pompeii and know what it looks like can understand that the film gave us some false images. (Now, I am not sure if the movie was filmed in Bulgaria or Canada. Maybe both)Secondly, the special effects were so unrealistic which at times made me sit back and laugh when something quite dramatic was happening. I understand the when it comes to low budget movies, one will never get realistic effects, but these effects were terrible. You can't just look past them!Finally, as much as I like Adrian Paul who trained to build his body up for this movie, what on earth was he doing taking on this role? Are Hollywood actors really finding it hard getting work? Well, in summary the whole movie was a disaster and even Mr Pierce seemed fake in the film. Georgina Beedle was the best out of the lot though at times you could tell the lines were rehearsed. The rest of the actors either need more acting classes or the director just couldn't lead them into a proper role.Yes, everyone is a critic but unfortunately I was embarrassed watching this film and having studied Pompeii as an Anthropologist, I just shook my head in disappointment.
Curt1222 This "movie", Ladies and Gentlemen, is the reason IMDb should have a "Zero" rating. We, The Good People of the World, must be able to exercise our Roger Ebert given right to vote "Zero Stars" for a load of crap like Apocalypse Pompeii.Writing that is worse than, well anything I can think of - Worse acting than a Wayan brothers movie - Worse directing than Michael Bay (Where are you Alan Smithee?) - Laughable special effects - Etc - Etc - EtcThis is a movie so bad that you should not even download it from (insert your favorite torrent site here)
Kasia Imagine a group of strangers involved in an apocalyptic event with no story and meaning behind their meeting. No development of the characters at all. Imagine volcano fumes that on one hand kill by-passers on the spot, but on the other hand are stopped by a glass&lead door. Imagine parents who take their daughter to a bus-trip to a volcano mountain, that is obviously waking up. Imagine all sorts of ridiculous things, e.g. a man going to a sort of job interview, coincidentally having with him 2 satellite telephones... Last but not least, imagine few busty slim cute chicks running away from a disastrous hot gases etc. And that would be the summon of evil of this movie :)
