How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A propulsive disaster spectacle that leans into its own ridiculousness, watching a volcano erupt from the La Brea Tar Pits and threaten Los Angeles with earnest, city-wide spectacle and practical stakes. It's the kind of movie that knows exactly what it is and commits fully to the mayhem.
