Dante's Peak (1997) **
Instead of one disaster movie, we get four: one about an earthquake, another about a flood, yet another involving an exploding volcano and finally one set inside a collapsed mine shaft. There is also a boat trip on an acidic lake amid clouds of volcanic ashes. Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton have to get through all these ordeals. Special effects are superb; the screenplay is merely serviceable.
