The Unthinkable has arrived. MEMBER REVIEW: This is a 2012 miniseries event. It starts with a lake full of dead fish. Then a field of dead cows. What is happening? A big company is doing subsurface drilling for oil in a protected area in eastern Oregon, but guarantee it will be safe etc. etc. etc. And we will be free of countries that squeeze us and make gas prices go up $1.50 a gallon! (Oh the horror of it all!) The area was depressed, and the drilling is a godsend to people out of work. But CO2 is being released after seismic events, with pictures of lava and churning stuff. Sigh. The usual cast of characters, a CEO who actually cares, a PR person who is ruthless, a protester who wants to stop it all, miners who are desperate for a paycheck, a scientist who is baffled, his grad student who is hot and sassy and helpful, citizens who are baffled but trusting because they have a new park, etc. etc. etc. “Magma can be easily mistaken for oil, and they could hit magma instead of oil. They are drilling deeper than they are allowed.” “They could ignite the whole caldera.” Honest, they say this and it sorta characterizes the whole movie. They hit magma, the well blows and it activates the entire ring of fire, 75% of all earth’s volcanoes. The rest is explosions, special effects, harrowing rescues, dead people and the usual disaster stuff. It is a global extinction event, and you have a ringside seat. They use a sonic bomb to divert the magma to the ocean, and stop the chain reaction and save the earth. It is not bad enough to be a turkey, but it is not really worth watching either.
