Combining striking archive footage with computer-created reenactments and interviews explaining just what causes these natural forces to lose control, the film's sequence on volcanoes is centered on the massive Soufriere Hills eruption of 1995, while an tremor in Izmit, Turkey, which cost the lives of 17,000 sets the stage for a segment on earthquakes, and Dr. Joshua Wurman leads a group of "storm chasers" as the filmmakers investigate tornadoes. Forces of Nature was shot and initially exhibited in the high-definition IMAX film format. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
One of the few movies where the word 'awesome' truly applies.
-
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Often breathtaking, Forces of Nature reminds us of the true meaning of global power.
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
A tad dated when it was finished earlier this year.
-
Justin Chang, Variety
An intermittently spectacular science lesson.
-
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
While the Hollywood movie cooked up its killer weather on special-effects computers, these are real.
