astronomy) for a century and insists on drilling big holes all over Iceland. Big
fight. For many other parts of the world, life goes on with little change.

OK, we won't. Yellowstone is just the first of many disasters. It was a
bunch of decent special effects piled on top of a lame and obvious plot.

Can you name one disaster movie which doesn't have an "obvious plot"?

"Volcano" was kind of refreshing. There weren't any selfish bad-guys trying
to take advantage of the disaster at the expense of others.

It amused me when I saw the trailer for The Day After Tomorrow:
"Contains scenes of extended peril."
Um, no, it does not *contain* scenes of peril, it *is* scenes of peril!!
