I am glad Irwin Allen is no longer around to work his destruction on stories that deserve much better treatment. The book, (The Day The World Ended), the movie is based on; and bears no similarity to, is set in 1902 on the island of Martinique. The story, takes the reader from the first rumblings of the volcano, Mont Pele, to the massive pyroclastic explosion that destroys the city of St. Pierre. The politics that lead to the tragedy and, the personal stories of the many characters would make an incredible mini series, if you could find a producer willing to put the story above his ego. BTW, it is a true story.

While I haven't seen this movie in a while, the way I remembered it from years ago was very good. It's like the Poseidon Adventure, except a tad newer, but still a classic. It's a disaster movie about a volcano, yes I know it's been done before, but this is what the new movies were able to get their basis from, this was something different back in 1980 when it was created. I think the graphics for it were very good for their time, and I wish more movies could be made with actual acting, instead of a bunch of computerized stunts. I look forward to enjoying it again.
