Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Yet another volcano disaster film and made by the Syfy channel?! Never really stood a chance did it?Thing is this is slightly tweaked. What do you get when you cross a volcano movie with Frequency (2000)? You get Super Eruption which isn't as bad as you'd think.It tells the story of an eruption occurring underneath Yellowstone park and the usual attempts at stopping it through pseudo science.Super Eruption however has a scifi twist to it which both makes it more interesting and considerably less credible. The concept makes you think but it's 100% guaranteed to cause a migraine or two.The decent cast keep the movie from falling into mediocrity, and though it is just another scyfy original it's certainly watchable.The Good:Cast do a good jobSome interesting ideasThe Bad:Poor sfxUsual levels of baffling stupidityThings I Learnt From This Movie:Would Yellowstone erupting actual cause the end of the world? Let's not find out

"Super Eruption" did have potential, sure it wasn't going to be the next "Volcano", but still, it had potential to be a good enough movie. That is right up until they introduced the aspect where Kate (played by Juliet Aubrey) started to getting TV broadcasts from herself from the future. When that happened, then the entire line just snapped and the movie went spiraling downhill fast.The story is about the volcano that lie underneath Yellowstone that starts to come to life and threatens to obliterate all life on Earth, and manages to do so, but given the help from herself in the future, Kate comes up with a plan to cool down the magma and save planet Earth from extinction.Right, very plausible storyline right there. That storyline was so outrageous and preposterous that it was impossible to buy into. And the overall lack of anyone ever being in any real danger, didn't really help to move the movie to make the audience believe that the entire planet was in danger of becoming extinct."Super Eruption" is a low budget version of "Volcano" with a slightly more megalomaniac aspect that was just downright ridiculous.I will say that the magma and lava effects were actually cool - pardon the pun - most of the time, and looked believable enough.As for the acting, well people were doing alright with what they had to work with - which was very little - so given that, then thumbs up for the actors and actresses for trying their best. No one really stood out in any particular way here, neither good, nor bad."Super Eruption" was also as predictable as these types of natural disaster movies come. You know exactly what the movie will end like, and sure enough, it did! And it is really hard to buy into this whole thing where one or two people save the entire world from extinction - it just doesn't seem plausible.If you enjoy volcanic movies, then "Super Eruption" is good enough for a single watching, if you don't mind that whole 'salvation message from the future' take on the storyline. However, don't expect to be dazzled or impressed in any way.

i find all of the science fiction movies enjoyable because we get a break from the strain of real life. Don't knock what you don't know....Dec 21st 2012....122112....what will happen, maybe nothing but Yellowstone is the largest volcano on the planet and an eruption could almost wipe out our civilization. Were the Mayans right? wait till next year....i like these disaster movies, they are someone's visions of the future. If you don't like the science fiction channel then go watch Dr. Phil or better still talk to him. Since the warnings have started about 2012 being the end of the world, no one really knows what will happen, a catastrophe caused by other planets or the sun? plates shifting due to massive earthquakes and volcanoes? OR the collapse of the world monetary system, no more banks, no money, dog eat dog and we wipe out our civilization ourselves? But if things start happening like you have seen on these kind of movies you will be prepared.

I was looking forward to watching a new and exciting disaster movie this evening. This movie was a total waste of my two hours. Although the basic story is good - Yellowstone erupting, which scientists say is inevitable, the storyline is totally ludicrous. The scenes where the main character sees and talks to herself through her computer, from apparently another dimension, makes no sense whatsoever and doesn't add a thing to the story. The special effects as well are just pitiful.If there's nothing else to watch on TV and you don't care about wasting two hours, then go for it; otherwise, you'll be better off spending that time reading a good book. I wish that's what I had done! In my opinion, this is one of many badly scripted made-for-TV science fiction movies that has come out of Hollywood in the past two decades. Seems they don't know how to make them anymore!
