The recent trend for big-budget Chinese films taking on Hollywood blockbuster tropes is interesting to see, and Skyfire takes on Dante's Peak and the disaster movie genre to spectacular effect. Based on the daftest of high-concepts - a holiday resort opening next door to an active volcano! - the inevitable occurs with a handful of truly expansive set pieces and creditable special effects. The cast is clearly invested, background artists are brutally offed, and whilst Skyfire adds nothing new to the mix, it is definitely an entertaining genre entry.
