Geologist Wentao Li (Xueqi Wang) vowed he would never return to Tianhuo Island after a catastrophic volcano eruption tragically killed his wife. But 20 years later, his daughter Meng (Hannah Quinlivan) continues his research work on the island that took her mother's life, developing a brilliant eruption forecasting system that could save countless lives. The island has now been transformed into a thrill-seeking theme park by greedy businessman Jack Harris (Jason Isaacs) despite Meng's warnings. She was right. Distraught over his daughter's safety, Wentao lands on the island as the volcano begins to erupt. It's a race against the clock to save his daughter, and the tourists and villagers from the apocalyptic chaos.

It's all far more entertaining than it likely has any right to be.

It's no great leap forward in filmmaking, but the big-budget disaster movie "Skyfire" does prove that China is now capable of producing its own brand of utterly preposterous and enjoyably trashy popcorn entertainment for a global audience.

Won't erase memories of 'Dante's Peak' or 'Volcano,' and even they weren't very good.

3.5/5

“Skyfire” unashamedly follows the long and trusty line of thrill-a-second disaster films. And like those other movies, “Skyfire” has the sole aim of keeping you on the edge your seat with a barrage of fun, non-stop, CGI-infused action.
