"This video is very short and doesn't have a lot of content. Thier are some great sceens but overall its nothing you havn't seen before. I would have liked to see some avalanches and better explanations of all natural disasters with more depth."

Very Informative

"Excellent footage, scene set up, and computer graphics. You are "there" for each event. The computer graphics allow you to "see" what is happening beneath the surface during an earthquake, as well as educating you on volcanic activity. The narrative was very informative, however for some inexplicable reason the volume starts dropping at a certain point for a few minutes. A tad annoying, but easily fixed, though you might miss the first few words. There could be a tendency, when putting together a film like this, to over-dramatize, however, the filmmakers resist and we get a reasonable presentation of the facts. I would highly recommend this well done documentary. Be sure to watch the bonus features."

Excellent!!

"Saw this at the Milwaukee Public Museum on IMAX screen. Oh, the wonders of nature! It will give you a deep respect for the power and the fury of Mother Nature!"

Not what I was expecting

"I bought this video because my son is OBSESSED with volcanoes. I hoped to see more footage of eruptions, but instead, the video focuses on ash eruptions and discussions with vulcanologists. It is interesting, but I'm sure there is better footage out there."
