OK I am getting sick of these crappy Syfy movies. I can deal with "Sharknado", as much as the next guy but this has gone too far in junk. Too many Cliché's in volcanic disaster movies. Always either somebody surrounded by lava or somebody dies in lava. Volcano movies should have stopped after "Dante's Peak" and "Volcano". Syfy created another crappy masterpiece with "Super Eruption", where the story begins by no other than a volcanic eruption, people die by lava, etc. You know if there was a penny for every bad Volcano movie ever made by Syfy, I would be able to buy the new PS4. Just do something more productive than watch this like........I don't know....get a job, or go ride a bike. Save yourself from Syfy volcano movies.

In fact I found this movie pretty awful. Not the worst I've seen from SyFy, but this is little consolation. The premise seemed decent if not exactly new territory, and I have seen some of the actors before and I wouldn't call them bad actors overall(I am especially looking at MyAnna Buring). But you would never guess seeing here. It is not terrible or hilariously bad as much, but nobody is really believable and come across as bland. It doesn't help that the script is so cheesy, wishy-washy and sometimes confused too, or that you don't care for the characters at all, for they continue to be written in an underdeveloped and stereotypical manner. The music is both forgettable and sluggish-sounding. But where Super Eruption really falls down is in the story and special effects. The story is a good, if as I've said familiar, but it manages to be predictable and preposterous, with the whole business about the main character being able to see and talk to herself from a different dimension through a computer doesn't make sense, was superfluous to the entire story and with a slightly longer length the film could've explained this much more. The romance was clichéd and hokey as well. I have seen worse effects like in Titanic II, but the ones here do still look fake and as though they were made in a rush. All in all, awful instead of super, dull instead of interesting and preposterous instead of plausible or thrilling, in short not SyFy's worst but still a disaster of a film. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Or more like a disaster of a movie. Yet another abortion from SyFy. Who green-lights these things? Not every Science Fiction (SciFi) should be made into a movie. The basic story is sound, I liked it as much as I liked the plot several years ago with the movie Supervolcano, a much better done version of the same basic story, Yellowstone erupts. If you have nothing better to do, like your in a coma, than this movie is for you. I wish I could send a message back through time to warn myself not to watch this movie.Please SyFy Channel, save your money and put out some good movies. Stop canceling the good shows like SGU and wasting our time and your money with crap like Super Eruption.

Oh Lord... It's basically 'Dante's Peak' for TV but, er, with a time-travel 'twist'. Seriously.The basic set-up? Volcano threatens to destroy earth, no less. And it only gets more preposterous as we go on. A plan involving conventional rescue scenes and parallel universes is made even worse by terrible dialogue and feeble acting.It's a very poor film but, if you made it this far, I reckon you probably know that already!(Ps. I've had to add this line because IMDb wants me to pad out the review. I've opted not to subject you to any more about the film though. You've suffered enough.)
