Review of Skyfire

Skyfire (2019)
7/10
More than just another volcano/disaster movie. Excellent and intense film with lots of great effects, emotion, and action, for both entertainment and positive ethical messages

Disaster movie from China. The central idea is an active volcano which erupts not once but twice during the film. From the beginning the film takes us to the volcano area and to the suspense, starting very promising with the first eruption of the volcano and with emotion. It continues the story where years later, the volcano area becomes a theme park and tourist resort/attraction, and all the scenery of the Volcano Park is strongly reminiscent of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. Wonderful all the scenography and directing with excellent effects, background music, great acting performances by all and a film with fast pace, intense suspense and abundant action, while despite its short duration, the central protagonists and their characters develop quite well. A scenario that holds the interest of the watcher from start to finish, and lacks nothing as it has plenty of suspense, action, romance, lots of plot twists and a lot of emotion. Good example of Chinese cinema, although apparently influenced by the American in effects, continues to give examples of morals with positive messages but also a lot of emotion. I would like even more duration personally, but even during this time, it has everything that this particular central idea of the volcano and Volcano Park could have. It's recommended to everyone.

7.5/10 from me
