Let me start by saying how much I love disaster movies. I even love ones made by The Asylum. That being said, do not waste your time watching this movie. To start with, Ice-T, who has top billing, is only in this movie for about 5 minutes in the beginning and 1 minute at the end. Huge disappointment. Second, about halfway through I started feeling deja vu. I knew I'd never seen this exact movie before, but why did it feel so familiar? There are two reasons for that. First, it has the almost exact same premise from a 1979 movie called City on Fire. From the refinery fire, to the hospital evacuation. Second, most of the scenes of the hospital evacuation and fire was actually footage from the same movie. You can clearly see the difference. One scene everyone is dressed in 2000 era clothing, the cars are from around that time, the firefighter suits are from that time, the hairstyles, etc.. Then the next scene you can clearly see how dated the film is, the hairstyles, clothing, and cars from the 70's. It's blatantly obvious and quite laughable. My only question is, why would anyone make this movie if only to be lazy about it?? Don't waste your time with this. While City on Fire isn't the best movie ever, it's much better than Ablaze.

Not too bad for a lesser Hollywood movie with no big screen names(Ice-T don't count). It's got the usual amount of bloopers that you can expect from a such a movie. It also got the usual amounts of flaws in how things are done, like a fire rescue team running into a burning and smoking building without the proper equipment, kinda like "firemen Rambos".The storyline could have been better, but I've seen worse in some of the major hit movies the last 10 years. However, the movie does have a "tv movie" feel to it, with some of the acting and how it's shot.As for the cast, some of them I would have expected more from, while others that are more unknown does a rather good job.But overall, if you manage to ignore the bloopers and errors, it's an enjoyable film to watch when you're out of the "major name" movies. Just grab the popcorn and enjoy.

May spoil the movie.What, are you crazy? This movie has to be the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. They piece parts together from other shows, mainly Emergency! and video clips from foreign films about fires. I noted a change in fire engines seven times in a 10 minute segment!The first part doesn't even relate to the last part. Where did Ice-T go after the dude set himself on fire in the first scene? Then he just randomly appears at the end? This movie is destined for the fiery pit from which it came.Too many questions, too little time.

Not only did they lift scenes from City on Fire but the opening chase sequence was lifted from the Bruce Willis movie Striking Distance!This movie was probably the worst movie I have seen.This movie belongs in the bargain bin at Wal Mart, ummm... better yet it belongs in the trash.
