Tommy Lee Jones tells you what it is that the older you get, the more flavorful

Very classic disaster film. The continuous foreshadowing of the film began to make every plot later logical. Although the overall content may not be as tight and natural as those of the current movie content, it does not affect the appreciation of such an excellent work. A modern city is accompanied by an unimaginable volcanic eruption. The turmoil of the city and the slowly flowing lava give everyone a new understanding of life on the earth. Tommy Lee Jones's natural and perfect interpretation will make such a plot alive from beginning to end, so much so that it is often watched with open mouth. I personally think that the older the American actor, the more flavorful the actor, except for Bruce Willis, it is Tommy Lee Jones.

    [7.4 points] A pretty good disaster movie, with even stronger narrative rhythm and entertainment than the current disaster movie. However, the character writing is slightly weak, and many plot arrangements are very deliberate. The protagonist's daughter was written as being very mentally handicapped and annoying.

    I watched it in the cinema, remember, there were a lot of disaster movies in those days
