But there's the supernatural slant in it taking away from volcano action. But for once it's okay it's better than most distracting subplots. First it's more jaw-wagging bizarre unreal than laughably unreal. The character whom this angle revolves around, Angela, has a decent actress, specifically she big time can project the weirdness everyone points her way. Moreover the role of the priest (the actor is a tad hammy but not annoyingly so) is decent; seen too many films as of late depicting priests as corrupt.
I give film high marks for attempting putting the story in Italy--something 2 Sci-fi movies using Russia as its backdrop completely failed to do. There's people with accents (might not be the actual Italian accent but at least they try.) frequent breaks between American English an Italian. Wish they interjected subtitles when the Italian starts up. But back to the good, there's a major one haven't mentioned as of yet--It sure ain't predictable.
What really sells me on this film is the lead guy--nice on my eyes but OMG he can act too. He makes the character likable.
