Good action... utterly unbelievable 
If you just want a well done, by-the-numbers, action flick then by all means watch Volcano. It moves well and is never boring. Though you may be laughing over the ridiculousness of Firemen fighting fires while hot lava is moving inexorably towards them. It is also rather ridiculous to watch a line of concrete barriers stop a lava flow. It is even more ridiculous to see Firemen standing only a couple of feet from the lava flows. Or to see a bus divert a lava flow. Lava would simply destroy these impediments in short order. The fleet of water bearing helicopters could drop water for two days and never begin to cool the lava, the physics are just impossible. The movie also conveniently ignores the plume of deadly gases that accompany an eruption, killing people for a substantial radius. Enjoy this as a popcorn, no thinking allowed, action flick and it works. It at least doesn't commit the unforgivable movie crime of being boring.

A First Rate Disaster Film, Never Dull For A Moment 
"Volcano" is a first rate disaster film, it is exciting all the way through to the very end. The effects are very good the compliment the movie well. Both Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche turn in good performaneces. Out of all the disaster films released in the 1990's this one is the best.
Action-filled
Action-filled disaster movie. The tension begins right from the start and builds from there to the explosive ending with impressive pyrotechnics along the way.
