Too bad we get to see this disaster coming…it might be more pleasant if we never saw it.

Rating: C+ Commentary: It’s colorful, but vacant. Establishes the volcano, but doesn’t make it seem menacing. |
Rating: C+ Commentary: A little more action heavy, but still unable to convey the reason the film exists in the first place. Setting romantic stories into historical events can work, but with a disaster like Pompeii, it just doesn’t make sense and the trailer does do a good job indicating how or why, though it does feature figures covered in soot. I guess that’s a good thing. |
