Watch Dante's Peak For Free

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

When I was a child my mother had this movie on DVD and my siblings and I watched it till it wouldn't load anymore. Now that I'm grown up and have rewatched it I can honestly say that while it isn't bad, it isn't as good as my 10 year old self thought it was. Definitely worth the watch though, and showing it to your children a few times when they're old enough to appreciate the story line. Also, some of the reviews have mentioned Harry and Rachel's relationship and how it was built/forced. It said at the beginning that it was 4 years after Harry's fiance was killed plus they had a weak to get to know each other. And that doesn't take into account the fact that they were in a near death situation together. Another comment I found is how it's far fetched that Graham was able to drive Rachel's truck when he's about ten years old. Not that far fetched since in real life there was a six year old who stole his parent's car and drove it home because he didn't want to attend church. And, aside from that, yes some of the things in the movie are far fetched, I won't deny that, but they also have more scientific facts in it than some of the other natural disaster movies that are from recent years.

A vulcanologist arrives at a countryside town recently named the second most desirable place to live in America, and discovers that the long dormant volcano, Dante's Peak, may wake up at any moment. Dante's Peak is one of the many 90's films that i loved but for some reason it only has a 5.9/10 and excuse me but that's a sh*tty rating. The film is packed with 2 amazing performances by Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye, Remember Me) and Linda Hamilton (The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day), the score by James Newton Howard is amazing, the suspense is created from just the very first scene of the movie and the scene with Ruth gets me every time. This is also a beautiful looking movie with some amazing special effects and locations. It's action packed, dramatic and full of suspense and definitely one of the best disaster movies ever made about Volcanos next to Tommy Lee Jones Volcano film that was released on that same year. (A+)

Gather your essentials, and your loved ones, and get the hell out of here! Eruption is on the rise in Ronald Donaldson's Dante's Peak, which puts a town of the same name at risk of destruction from a once dormant volcano that is coming out of hibernation. Dante's Peak lies in the Cascade mountains in Northern Washington. In the midst of the town's festival, the United States Geological Survey receives seismic activity readings that must be addressed. Their best scientist, Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan), is sent to investigate the situation. He is welcomed, and ushered around town, by Mayor Rachel Wando (Linda Hamilton), who may or may not catch feelings for the presumed hero.After running tests, and making observations, Dalton is highly concerned with the activity the mountain is displaying. However, his team does not share the same concern, and they do not back up his idea to alert the town of the possible risk. With the town on the verge of substantial growth due to a major development, the council does not want to disrupt the community. Well, this decision turns out to be the wrong one, and calamity erupts throughout the town, along with the volcano. After complete destruction of the town, Harry Dalton manages to escape death, and save Rachel and her children. But what about the facts? How accurate can this volcanic event be?From what I have gathered, the eruption seems fairly accurate, to some extent. The volcano is a stratovolcano, which produces explosive eruptions with pyroclastic flows, tephra, and lava flows. Tephra is any debris that becomes airborne in an eruption such as, ash and rock. Flooding from the melting of snow, and ice caps, due to the release of extremely hot gases from beneath the crust is an actual possibility that the movie displays. However, the lava flow scene might not be as accurate. Given the type of volcano, lahar flows that are thick, debris filled flows that move slowly, are the type of flow that should have been depicted. The flows in the film moved at a much faster pace. Also, in a scene where Harry and his new friends are trying to make it back down the mountain, they are cutoff by lava flow, and he decides to drive across it. The truck would have never made it across. Heat from the lava can reach well over 1000ºF, and would have destroyed the vehicle. Hey, it is Hollywood, right?Despite a few inaccuracies, the film provides a pleasant, engaging experience and is overall a good movie. I recommend anyone to view Dante's Peak, and experience a nice natural hazard thriller. It may just spark an interest in geology, and volcanology for some. On a scale of five stars, I give it four stars.

Dantes peak movie review I am a year 10 pupil at Dromore high school and in my geography class we recently watched Dantes peak. I thought it was a fantastic movie but is very gory in some scenes so if you didn't like that type of thing this movie isn't for you. The main characters are harry, the volcanologist played by Pierce brosan, then there is Rachel the mayor of the town and also own the local café played by Linda Hamilton. Rachel has 2 children, Lauren and graham there is also the U.S.G.S team, Paul "the boss", harry, Barry and three others. The plot was that harry was sent to Dante's peak to see if there was any volcanic activity. Harry soon finds signs that the volcano is active for example dead squirrels, vegetation begin to die due sulphur dioxide and he found a couple that had been boiled up in hot springs. Harry wanted to send out an alert but Paul (the boss) wouldn't let him because it wasn't scientifically certain that it was going to erupt soon. Harry and Barry then go up to the volcano and send spider down to seen what was going on spider then stopped moving so Barry went down to fix the problem he unhooked himself from his harness and a minor earthquake occurs, rocks fall and harry breaks his leg. Later on in the film there is certain sign that the volcano is going to erupt and so they quickly call the town in to send an alert as they are in the middle of telling people what was about to happen an earthquake occurs soon the roof was falling in and the people panic and rush out the building in fear. The volcano erupts and Rachel Hs to get her kids who have drove up the mountain to save there grandma they then have to face many obstacles as there battle to get back down .when they finally make it down harry makes the decision to ram the car into this building as it was too dangerous to drive about the town ,he then gets Rachel and the kids to a safe spot and then rushes to the car to send a message to tell someone they are down there but rocks fall on top of him and he breaks his arm but pulls through and sends out the message and gets himself Rachel and her kids to safety, then him and Rachel fall in love and that's it. I did think it some parts it was unrealistic and exaggerated but was a good story, I really loved all of the gory parts and would totally recommended it if you aren't squeamish. I give Dante's peak a solid 8/10
