** In addition, there's almost too many instances to count where the footage was clearly slowed down, and shoddily slowed at that. The sudden frame rate drops cut between shots of normal movement make them all the more noticeable. In the opening shot, there's even an instance where the sweeping view of the city is obviously (and poorly) sped up.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: There are points in the film where the lava may not exactly be convincing. Plus, the shot of an entire flotilla of helicopters swarming onscreen as they prepare to dump thousands of gallons of water on blocked lava flow is clearly just one too many helicopters duplicated into the same shot in too small an airspace for them all to function.
