Review by sillycatmom ★

A “ super volcano” is going to erupt all over Hawaii, but Molly ( activist) will not stop fighting with Griffin the volcano expert. So annoying! The staff of volcano experts are all pretty annoying! I. Cheered for the volcano! Pass for sure! Acting is awful. Ugh!

Review by FilmFan1970 🎞 🔪 🪓 🔥🌩🧨🔍🔦🪦 ★★½

DOWNLOADED of SKY SCI-FI HD 🖥 'THE ASYLUM WATCH #17' "Familiar Face William Baldwin"

This was exactly what I expected, a clichéd diaster film, bad dialogue, lots of family drama, terrible CGI and the ending you no is coming. But of course it was so much fun to laugh at as all Asylum films are, the family all have skills that are needed to stop the mega eruptions and the parents are separated (of course). They use CGI for everything like the volcanoe eruptions, lava, cars, helicopters (in every film) the cars driving away from the danger scene with the mum and daughter are like a 1990's computer game, in one scene 2 people are trapped in the lava flow and sit crying while the tyres are popping and it's sinking down but the vehicle isn't any hotter? They even climb out OK and jump onto a log in the lava ok and walk off??? WTF!!! It's just great fun.

Review by Tolkien About Films ★★★ 4

For anyone who is a fan of Asylum Films then this film is a great way to start a franchise of natural disaster films for the new R.E.A.C.T team. Good set peices and story. The dialogue is a bit hit and miss and the writing for the protagonist's children could have done with improvement.

The film leans into human made climate change and the almost inevitable natural disasters that result from it. The big CEO business man who has caused the world to change tries to make amends to their mistakes. A lesson i hope the real CEO's of the world learn from.

P.S. I was the first person to rate this film on here. How cool!

Oh Asylum, it’s cute that you’re trying to have a storyline, but you do those worse than you do CGI, I think I’d rather see the volcano action. Yawn

Review by FritziSchach ★

Das Expertenteam um Dr. Molly Martin muss gegen einen Supervulkan auf Hawaii antreten. Wir kamen die Hauptcharaktere so bekannt vor. Dann ist mir aufgefallen, dass es sich hier um Teil 1 der losen Reihe um eben dieses Expertenteam handelt, von dem ich mir vor 2,5 Monaten schon Teil 3 angesehen habe, Teil 2 kommt auch in wenigen Tagen auf Tele5. Unter der Regie von Jared Cohn ist hier der typische 0815-The Ayslum-Katastrophenfilm entstanden. Während man beim 3. Teil eigentlich über die gesamte Zeit einen halbwegs ordentlichen Handlungsablauf hat, geht es hier einfach direkt los, ohne dass man groß wüsste, was eigentlich abgeht, obwohl das hier ja Teil 1 ist. Als halbwegs bekannten Namen (Die Darstellerin von Dr. Molly Martin hat…

Review by Davy ★★

Ok film that was the first of an Asylum trilogy. This 1 sets up the new REACT team as they deal with a series of volcanic eruptions, but to be honest, I've seen the other two & it's all downhill from here!

Feinstes SchleFaz Material.

Review by 🎌 Greatest Ever 🌮 ½

One of our friends complained the entire time about all the inaccuracies of Hawaii. Without that I would have fallen asleep.

Review by PoppyVerde ★★½

Rating 5.5/10 Age: 13+

Before my comments, it appears that the director likes the Avatar cartoon series. This is about fire, the next about earth, and the one after that water. The fourth will be wind? B-Movies are my thing and Asylum is the master, of them. It's been a while, since I watched one, but this one was decent. I watched it because I watched 20.0 Megaquake, without knowing it was the second in a series. The story is copy paste Asylum. Volcano bad. Stop volcano. The acting was fine for being an Asylum movie, although the two kids were bothersome. The daughter is a jump first, ask later type and isn't phased at all by almost being melted…

Trivia The film takes place in 2020.
Goofs While Rick is at a shelter in Denver, there is a shot of 2 chaplains. Their shoulder patches identify them as from San Bernardino County, California. No doubt with the difficulty in travel, they would have stayed in their own area and not travel 1,000 miles into the disaster.

Kenneth Wylie : It's volcanic ash, you can't go out there!

Richard 'Rick' Lieberman : When Mt. Vesuvius erupted, the people of Pompeii stayed in their homes, how do we know that Ken?

Kenneth Wylie : Because they were buried in volcanic ash.
