“Airplane vs. Volcano” (** out of four) was a strictly by-the-numbers action thriller about a commercial airliner full of passengers (Tamara Goodwin, Dean Cain, Matt Mercer, and others) which becomes trapped in a destructive ring of erupting volcanoes and they must band together to survive while the military down below debates on whether to save them or shoot them down before they crashland. Special effects and stunts aren’t bad considered the film’s threadbare budget but movie is a routine cocktail of “Snakes On A Plane”, “Volcano”, and numerous other disaster pictures. Robin Givens has a small part as a sympathetic military advisor who attempts to help land the plane.
