Doctor Molly Martin (McKenzie Westmore) is passionate about the environment. Molly, each day, is putting up a good fight or taking people who continue to hurt the Earth to court. After her most recent appearance in court, Molly is greeted by an old friend who advises her that she has received approval and funding for one of her projects in Hawaii. Molly’s hard work is about to pay off in a big way. Thanks to Molly, Hawaii will now have a huge processor and a supercomputer containment unit, both of which can read various temperatures. It’s a system that can run simulations to predict when the next natural disaster will begin. Molly goes to Hawaii with her two children to oversee the setup. While everything in Hawaii is exciting for Molly, she shortly becomes less than impressed when she discovers who her benefactor is. The benefactor is one of Molly’s most disliked individuals. She feels people like him are responsible for most of the climate change and environmental issues the world continues to struggle with. However, for Molly, a harmful benefactor is the least of her worries. Molly and the team around her get alarming data relating to seismic activity. A volcano is predicted to have a massive eruption sooner than anyone could guess, and there isn’t enough time to evacuate the popular locations or the people of Hawaii. Building trenches and clearing paths may reduce the damage, but it won’t be enough. Molly’s husband, Eric (Grant Bowler), eventually meets her in Hawaii and becomes aware of the new threat. Now, Molly and her family, along with the skilled team known as R.E.A.C.T., need to work hard and fast to try and stop the volcano once and for all. But this isn’t any ordinary volcano; it’s a super volcano! Super Volcano is another release from Asylum, best known for many B-grade titles and direct-to-TV hits, including Sharknado, 3 Headed Shark Attack, Jungle Run and many more. As you might expect, Super Volcano carries the same feelings. It’s highly cheesy with cheap visual effects that are best suited for TV, best enjoyed in the midday. The film itself is family-friendly, and if you are watching hoping to see a high body count or loads of blood and gore, you’ll be disappointed. The plot contains plenty of volcano talk and scientific explanations that might make audiences roll their eyes for most of the runtime. As for the plot, I enjoyed the premise of a threat far superior to any other volcano the world has ever seen, along with some environmental themes. However, this film primarily focuses on a group of people talking. The world, which should feel large, feels extremely small. Some locations include an airfield and a command centre where the main characters speak, argue, and debate. At no point does the film convince me that it’s set in Hawaii! The performances are over the top, including line deliveries that feel more suited to a kid's network. The most likable performance on-screen comes from actor Grant Bowler as Eric, who has a few enjoyable moments and manages to liven up the screen during various scenes. Those expecting to see actor William Baldwin will be disappointed by his lack of on-screen presence- he only delivers a few lines of dialogue on a television screen during one scene! Overall, this is a poor TV movie that’s aimed at being family-friendly. The plot is filled with lots of volcano babble and jargon. As you may expect, the CGI and visual effects are cheap and fake, lacking realism at various times. For some, the laughable fun the film offers from start to finish will be enough to watch. Super Volcano is no Dante’s Peak; however, it still provides a brainless time for those seeking some escape, plenty of outrageous yet painful scenes, or some more B-grade from Asylum Picture. * This review has been written for Sanity.
