Supervolcano (2005)
A true story that hasn't happened yet?
After watching the BBC's new £3 million docu-drama I thought I would be bored, but I wasn't! The T.V. licence charge in the UK is often complained about but after producing a programme like this, the BBC has out done itself.The drama starts with the USGS studying the magma chamber situated under Yellowstone Park in Wyoming, USA. As the action unfolds we see a troubled scientist debating to tell the world of the real dangers or to say nothing in case nothing actually happens. The drama is based on real scientific fact and it shows what could happen ( like the 3 times before in the last 2.1 million years ) underneath America. The problem( which was not featured ) is that the caldera underneath Yellowstone has been monitored for the last 50 years and nothing has actually changed in the last half century leading other scientists to believe that an eruption could be thousands of years away. But hell, this is entertainment as well and for only £3 million, the BBC has produced some amazing special effects, locations and of course, a great story!
