  DVD Review - Dante’s Peak   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Adding to the documentary feeling of "Dante’s Peak" is the movie’s photography, with its heavy use of tilted camera shots, spreading a subliminally agitated atmosphere throughout even the most serene scenery.
It is the stunning computer-generated imagery, however, that blows your mind when "Dante’s Peak" finally erupts and huge clouds of burning ashes race towards the city, while steaming hot rivers of molten lava make an escape seemingly impossible.

Dante's Peak is a textbook case of this -- formulaic to a fault, yet exceptionally thrilling.
Many seem to have hashed "Volcano" which came out around the same time as "Dante's Peak" and it's a shame because both of them are highly realistic and te things that happen in them could literally happen in real life.
In all honesty though, "Dante's Peak" is more realistic and has a more compelling twist to it due to the volcano's more destructive power.

This movie is all about special effects (and anyone who thinks it's about the budding romance between Brosnan and Linda Hamilton as the mayor of Dante's Peak, well, I'd like to talk to you about some swamp land I own in Louisiana).
In order to keep everyone in Dante's Peak and be assured of mass confusion when the volcano finally starts to rumble, the filmmakers give us a volcano that just explodes all of a sudden.
Instead, the filmmakers give us a few cheap shocks, such as a small tremor when the scientists are exploring the volcano's crater or a hot spring that suddenly hits boiling point and scalds to death a couple of bathers.

 California Guide - Death Valley National Park - Dante's Peak
The summer temperature at Dante's Peak is often in the 90s; it is amazing to think that the parched land far beneath will be at least 20°F hotter.
From the summit, one can see north and south along many miles of salt flats and sand dunes, and also west across the valley to several lifeless mountain ranges, which fade into the distance due to the ever-present heat haze.
The highest summit usually visible is Telescope Peak, at 11,049 feet, part of the Panamint range, although 14,495 foot Mount Whitney can be glimpsed on clear days, when it is therefore possible to see the highest and lowest points in the contiguous US from one place.

"Dante's Peak" is customary for the genre, with convincing special effects sharing screen time with standard-issue characters and situations.
One of the things "Dante's Peak" does demonstrate is that the volcanic act itself, accompanied as it is by massive clouds of the most impenetrable fl smoke, is not ideal disaster movie material.
When it comes to the flow of superheated lava, which ought to be the movie's signature element, "Dante's Peak" is curiously coy.

Actually the kind of lava that came out of Dante's Peak would have been a lot slower because it's Granitic lava.
Dante's Peak showed characteristics of an explosive violent eruption, usually caused by the silica levels in the magma being high as well as having a high water and gas content.
The most likely type of lava coming from Dantes Peak would be Rhyolitic lava which is high in Silica and therefore has less viscosity, making it runny!

Pierce Brosnan is Harry Dalton (no relation to Timothy, Brosnan’s “Bond” predecessor), a vulcanologist working for the US Geological Survey who’s sent to Dante’s Peak (in beautiful Washington State, we think) to basically rain on their parade.
He doesn’t go, of course, and as we all know he’s been right all along and this spectacular mountain is about to go blooey and spew massive amounts of magma, ash, dust, mud, rocks and what have you, all over the lovely town of Dante’s Peak.
Besides, at its worst, Dante’s Peak is far, far better than The Swarm, possibly the worst of the disaster flicks.

The peak itself was a 100 square foot by 35 foot high wood and steel structure built on a sound stage in Los Angeles and wheeled onto a tarmac to be shot against the sky and later composited with live action footage shot on location (Wallace, Idaho).
Computer-generated smoke, ash and lava were created as special effects.
