Luckily for the town (but not the company), seismologist Jake and fiance Karen, who is a doctor specializing in seismology, are vacationing in town. They notice that something is wrong, and realize it's the lithium gas that is released into the atmosphere. It's not only toxic, but seeks a water source which then blows up and there's a lake in town. The company shrugs their shoulders while everyone in town dies, prompting Jake and Karen to call in the army.
This is a syfy channel movie. So right there, you know it's not going to be that great. It's cliched and ridiculous. I love how the only two people who can figure out exactly what is going on just happen to be on vacation in town. If only this had happened a different week, the company would have been home free.
Kevin Sorbo is a likeable guy, but there's not much he can do with this. He seems relegated to this type of film, but hey, at least he's working regularly.
The funniest scene in the movie is when the military come into the toxic, dead town. They are wearing hazmat suits, but whether due to the budget or an error in judgement, not everyone is protected. Some are wearing the suits, but no gloves. While others aren't even wearing the suits. Really? What kind of fight club did they have to go through to be the guys who got to wear the full suits in the danger zone?
