Airplane vs Volcano (2014)

the audience applauded

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Talk about a film that doesn't talk itself too seriously. You'll literally cry tears of catharsis as all your stress and whatever has been getting you down is forgotten and your sins are forgiven.So many good parts... when they have to fix the engine, the first rescue attempt, the entire situation on the ground.Believe it or not you can actually watch this film more than once. I've watched it a few times and each time I notice clearly intentional gaffes for the viewers entertainment. Enjoy!

I had fun reading all previous reviews and I found it so funny that someone could actually consider this a good movie. It is so absurd that its no use describing it entirely, but its release was as bad as The Core, to mention a flick as absurd as it is lame. However, I think it is worth mentioning a few things I learned from the movie (not even enough to reach 100) that get you thinking: - At the speed a jetliner flies, and the time the movie takes, the volcano range must be the length of South America LOL - An army private has more balls than a Colonel. - A tablet can save people's lives when all functions on a plane are screwed. - You can be strapped and dangle out of a flying jetliner at 10K feet flying over active volcanoes and not pass out instantly. I could go on, but I have work to do, so no more to add. Don't waste your time with this, I mean it. I wish there was a voting option of 0 but there ain't, so 1 will have to do.

Oh, gosh, so many h8rs for a film that doesn't aspire to be anything more than worth every penny of your $1.50 at the Redbox.You'd do yourself a favor to cut this The Asylum outing the break your IMDb and Amazon peers have denied.The preposterousness and cheesiness of this comic book melodrama are actually redeemed by some winning performances; colorful and creative, if not convincing special effects; and a cast totally committed to this project, no matter how ridiculous the plot thickens like flowing lava.The story: Some unclear natural disaster has created volcanic activity of such scale that it's essentially turned the West Coast into Mordor.As it happens, an airline (for some reason, just one airline, and not hundreds) is approaching L.A. at that exact time, and ends up flying straight into the volcano.It flies and flies and flies, for the entire 90-minute runtime, somehow, despite engine failure, pilot deaths, insane terrorists, low fuel, volcanic heat, flying lava balls and ash clouds so hot they turn beachgoers into piles of cinders.How will they survive? How can the volcano be stopped?You'll be surprised how much you'll care about those answers.The cast: Dean Cain got too fat to be Superman, so now he turns up in The Asylum roles Greg Evigan turns down to preserve his dignity. He's OK in this one as one of those stock-character passengers who happens to know how to fly a plane once the pilots are dead.Surprisingly endearing is a turn by Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, famous only as Freddy "Boom Boom" Washington on the '70s sitcom "Welcome Back, Kotter," as a grizzled air marshal. Somebody give this talented Hollywood veteran a cop series.Robin Givens shows up, characteristically devoid of any charm or personality, as a volcano expert who exists only to forward and describe the absurd pseudo-science of the film's main conceit.And as is true in pretty much every other The Asylum flick, the supporting cast and extras act their little nobody hearts out, as if this stupid DTV kerfuffle was "Terms of Endearment." The SFX: Most of the time, it looks like a CGI aircraft superimposed on a Renaissance painting of the Catholic interpretation of hell. But you can't say that's not doggone pretty to look at. Most of this film is the fire-orange hue you wish Crayola made a crayon of when you were an insane little kid.A couple of times, when a piece of lava hits the plane, or as the plane flies over vast magma fields, it looks really cool. Credit the editor as much as the SFX team for creating fine dramatic tension on the cheap.Other times, it looks like a cartoon. Like a "Bullwinkle" cartoon.The lowdown: Look, you watch a movie called "Airplane Vs. Volcano," you know It's from The Asylum, you can't fault the thing for wasting your time because it wasn't "Star Wars."Few production houses require viewers to leave their brains at the door as often as The Asylum. But when we do, we're occasionally charmed by the end product."Airplane Vs. Volcano" is one of those pearls in an otherwise slimy oyster bed.

I've come to expect the very worst from these Asylum films, complete with their rubbishy CGI graphics and lame, rip-off-anything-that-goes story lines. But I was completely overwhelmed by the simple fact that AIRPLANE VS VOLCANO manages to be an entertaining movie that held my attention the whole way through.Of course, this is still a B-movie, complete with the lame dialogue, the clichéd characters and the dodgy CGI work that we all know and love or hate, depending on your preference for trash; but it's a mighty fun one at that. The fast-paced storyline sees a down-on-his-luck Dean Cain trying to fly a plane that's trapped on autopilot above a ring of erupting volcanoes. Unlucky, huh? The effects here are wide-ranging and epic in approach, with lots of lava and fireballs and stuff exploding. None of it is remotely believable, but the effort was made, so I commend the film-makers for that. The characters are one-dimensional and the character list includes the expected stock figures: the evil Arab guy, the computer geek, and so on. The cast also contains a few other familiar faces from the past who have now fallen on tough times. But given the outlandish scenario, AIRPLANE VS VOLCANO delivers on its titular promise; everything you can imagine happens, and the action never lets up. It might be hokum, but it's enjoyable hokum all the same.
