	Asian Cinema Drifter - Volcano High Movie Review and Image Gallery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Kim Kyeong-su is on his 9th high school and on the edge of failure for his repeated offenses of assault amongst other expulsion-worthy behavior.
		With Volcano High as his last chance at success, he sets restraints on himself for a school that by chance happens to revolve around the strength of the children.
		The best parts of Volcano High come from the amusement at seeing the Kendo club stand off on their own against a rising faction exercising power to control the school, or them joining forces with the Rugby Club to defeat the Weightlifting Club in a complicated set of alliances.

	Volcano High DVD Review - MovieWeb
		Volcano High is actually a Korean film featuring Korean actors that do not speak English, and the film is dubbed over by the voices of the hip-hop megastars.
		In fact, the other side of the disc includes the original Korean version, which is quite a treat and tells the story of a rough and tough high school where a warrior with magical powers must pit against a ruthless gang.
		Volcano High, the MTV version is another dreadful piece of entertainment that thinks it is hot goods just because they put rappers in it.

	Elementary Themes: Volcanoes
		Volcanoes happen when magma rises to the surface of the earth, which causes bubbles of gas to appear in it.
		A volcano is a place on the Earth's surface (or any other planet's or moon's surface) where molten rock, gases and pyroclastic debris erupt through the earth's crust.
		Volcanoes vary quite a bit in their structure - some are cracks in the earth's crust where lava erupts, and some are domes, shields, or mountain-like structures with a crater at the summit.

		It's high on style, low on color (for cool effect), dripping with CGI, and lots of excellent fights.
		Kim Kyeong-su (Hyuk Jang) is a new transfer student to Volcano High, and tries to stay out of trouble (as this is his 10th school, having been expelled from 9 others).
		But as fate would have it, he's tossed into the middle of a great conflict between the students and the new teachers (decked out in Matrix style garb, complete with fl leather trench coats).

		Volcano High is an engagingly loopy, if overlong, South Korean twist on Harry Potter, throwing in dollops of Battle Royale and The Matrix for good measure.
		Eventually he arrives at Volcano High, where the kids are wizards at martial arts and the teachers are just plain wizards.
		Despite the obvious influence of other films (principally, of course, far-eastern action pictures) Volcano High has a deliberate video-game feel — the soundtrack drives along the action in poundingly propulsive style, but even in down-time there’s always a tinny music loop, just like in an arcade shoot-em-up.

		To properly enjoy Volcano High, you will need to relax, loosen up and dig up some old skool memories.
		Considering this is primarily a fun film, main and periphery characters are well portrayed, and there's a lots of subtle comedy and bombastic drama to keep anyone with a developed sense of humour happy.
		Although Volcano High is Korean, it appears to have gone the way of recent Hong Kong kung fu films, in that choreography is either obscured or entirely replaced by CGI effects.

	Volcano High review at theOneliner.com
		Kim Kyeong-su transfers to Volcano High having been expelled from 8 schools previously due to fighting.
		High powered wire-fu affair, although there seems to be a little too much time allocated for plot developments that never develop.
		After school clubs such as the weight lifting society and the kendo club form the same kind of antagonistic cliques generally found in high schools, but open warfare is prevented by the steady guiding hand of the schools strongest fighter, Song Hak-rim (Sang-woo Kwon) and the principles' vague threats / promises regarding a secret scroll.

		High school has always been a problem for Kim.
		Transferred to the mysterious Volcano High, Kim arrives only to find that he may have found a place where he belongs.
		Volcano High is just about ordinary high school stuff - liking a girl, hating your teachers, joining a sports club, fighting the bully - but everyone is actually a secret kung fu master of some kind.

	VOLCANO HIGH - DVD
		The problem is not so much that the movie now conforms to logic, but that a lack thereof better reflects adolescent experience: as anyone of parents born knows, high school is as brutal and nonsensical as a Joseph Heller novel.
		Volcano High is shorn of its deranged mythology, decorated with non-existent subplots and simplified by distilling extant subplots, and otherwise overexplained by treacly narration that makes Jiminy Cricket look like Richard Hell.
		Both incarnations of Volcano High are presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen and look quite sharp, for the most part, with the muted steel-blue palette coming through in its many dimensions.

		The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) is a joint program of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAFGI), and the State of Alaska Division of Geologic al and Geophysical Surveys (ADGGS).
		AVO was formed in 1988, and uses federal, state, and university resources to monitor and study Alaska's hazardous volcanoes, to predict and record eruptive activity, and to mitigate volcanic hazards to life and property.
		The range of volcanic behavior is great enough, and volcano lifetimes are long enough, that we must integrate observations of contemporary activity with historical and geological records of the recent past in order to prepare wisely for the future.

	Volcano High
		Thus opens Volcano High, a Korean Harry Potter for manga nerds and computer game freaks, set within a carefully fenced-off and vaguely futuristic microcosm inside the crumbling buildings of a South Korean high school.
		The heretical Gnosticism, a shadowy parallel religion to Catholicism and Protestantism with a strong element of Eastern mysticism, and the founding belief of Freemasonry and the Knights Templar, is often trotted out in the fantasy and science-fiction genres for an alternate spiritual basis.
		The “order out of chaos” mythology and the Mergovinian Neo character is utilised in the Gnostic underpinnings of The Matrix series, and Volcano High mixes it with more localised mysticism: the dragon iconography, the yin-yang duality of the cardboard characters and their mastery over the earthly elements (fire, water, air).

		The volcano is not expected to have an explosion as dramatic as its fatal and devastating eruption more than two decades ago, when part of the mountaintop collapsed, hundreds of square miles of nearby forest were leveled, and a cloud of ash turned day into night.
		As the volcano slept in recent years, scientists and engineers have labored to come up with better devices and methods for capturing its vital signs.
		A piece of GPS gear was put in the volcano's crater Monday, but it was lost in the blast Friday, which also took out a seismometer.

	Volcano High
		Volcano High is a Korean action-comedy-special effects extravaganza set in a high school in which all the kids and teachers have psychic powers and spend more time dueling than studying.
		With a premise like that, Volcano High can’t help but be entertaining.
		Kim Kyeung-Su is an annoying goofball kid who has been repeatedly kicked out of school, either for misusing his powers to make trouble or for freaking out everyone by having powers until they frame him for troublemaking -- it's not clear which.

	Volcano_high_recensie
		Op een afgelegen plaats staat een bijzonder school 'Volcano high'.
		Het heeft dan wel niks meer met echte martial arts te maken en ik denk dat het verstandig is om 'Volcano high' ook niet als martial arts film te bestempelen.
		Ondanks dat 'Volcano high' een actie film is kan het toch verstandig zijn om in zeer ontspannen toestand aan de film te beginnen.

		"Volcano High," on the other hand, approaches the original movie with tongue only slightly in cheek.
		In other words, this new "Volcano High" embraces the original; it doesn't ridicule it.

	Volcano High
		When he finds himself relocated to Volcano High School it would appear that he has found his greatest challenge to date as within this school lies a secret manuscript that supposedly offers it's bearer the chance to rule the world.
		It's probably fair comment to say that 'Volcano High' doesn't exactly break new ground but to call it dull and unoriginal does not do it justice.
		For me, the major difference between this film and others that have come before it is that it never disguises that it is a supernatural flick with superhero type characters so it doesn't build up any expectations about the action you are about to witness.

	[No title]
		“Volcano High” or “Volcano High School” is a South Korean action / comedy picture that utilizes a lot of the special effects pioneered by their American counterparts, and employs elements of Hong Kong farce comedy and stylized Asian martial arts moves that relies more on posing and looking good rather than doing actual martial arts.
		In a words, “Volcano High” is all about flash and style without any hint of substance anywhere to be found in its nearly 2 hours running time.
		Not that all style is bad, because “Volcano High” is certainly a fascinating, if mostly unfocused, film.
