Fire From Below

Another good Sorbo performance!
Thanks to a friend,I had already seen this movie once and really enjoyed it. Kevin Sorbo delivers another solid performance as a scientist looking into the accidential discovery of lithium and the effects it causes when it comes in contact with water. The special effects were really awesome and quite scary. There were some sweet scenes between Kevin and the actress playing his love interest. Kudos to Andrew Stevens for an excellent production overall and I would highly recommend this movie to any Kevin Sorbo fan.

Made For TV?
I've seen far worse when it comes to "disaster" style films. This one is a "middle of the road" film. It has it's good parts and some slooow parts. Not a high budget film, but the special effects are not bad. Fair acting overall. This has the feel of a made-for-TV movie but I'm not sure if that's the case. It *sure* isn't worth the high price that is asked here on this site.

Writers keep coming up with new ideas where strange phenomena cause great destruction. Unfortunately, while Fire From Below (2009) features a threat from an unusual source, not much else in this B-movie is new or compelling, although the special effects are at least passable. The screenplay features the usual cadre of clichéd characters, sprouting the same kind of drivel that you've heard a thousand times before. Complementing the uninspired screenplay, are some weak acting performances and unrealistic looking sets. The finish seems relatively exciting, only because what preceded, is so dull and ridiculous. Be sure not to confuse this film with Steven Seagal's Fire Down Below (1998).

Seismologist Jake Denning (Kevin Sorbo) and his fiancé Dr. Kerrie Watkins (Maeghan Albach) are on their way to a lake for a little relaxation, however a destructive phenomenon occurring in the area ruins...
