Firestorm: Last Stand at Yellowstone (2006) Review

Almost very educational - Yellowstone - Firefighters, their lives and dangers.
I must admit that I bought it because of Scott Foley from [The Unit] but the movie was well worth it.
The dangers are always real just never brought to our attention of all the dangers and risks that these men and women face when the blaze starts to take out millions of acre's of trees and park-lands.
I sure hope that the far shots of the blazes were not real - the up-close shots were too real. It reminds me that we must remember these people in our prayers. And hope that the government agencies are not as stupid and money-grubbing as they sound. [Probably a forlorn hope.]
This movie is Definitely recommended for the more mature audience - and not for some twitchy kid that thinks starting a fire is a lark.

A searing drama of natural disaster and sheer bravery, FIRESTORM: LAST STAND AT YELLOWSTONE tracks a crack team of firefighters as they battle massive flames threatening to eviscerate Yellowstone National Park--and trap the thousands of tourists who have come to visit America's national treasure on summer vacation.

Faced with this deadly crisis, Clay and his team devise a radical plan to save everyone--and what is left of the park.As they race against time, can they harness the flames in time to save thousands of lives?

This movie reminds me of the first science fiction movies produced in the 50's when cardboard props swung from visible strings. It is, by far, my favorite film. From phony looking props, backgrounds, and atmospheric phenomena, to award-removing scripts, soundtracks, acting, and production, this film is, by far, the best warm pile I have ever stepped in. My favorite scene is when the older scientist falls on the soft snow in a cave during a tremor. The ground shifts just enough to make him lose his balance, he gently falls to the floor, and he is left sitting upright with a small scratch on his forehead that suprisingly enough, kills him a moment later. Then, the main character, in a feable attempt to express his utter devastation over the loss of his best friend, an otherwise undeveloped friendship until this moment, puts on his most insincere facial expression as he says, "Awe cheezed" or was it, "Awe geeze", or maybe "I cheezed", all of which seemed as inappropriate as the massive head injuries sustained by his beloved friend, and mentor. I would like to thank the producer for missing this flurb, for it has given my girlfriend and I a stress relieving catch phrase we use in response to life's many aggrevations. So America, when life throws it's worst at you, curl your nose and form the most unattractive facial expression you can muster up, and say, "Awe cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezed" hahahaha.....

I really enjoyed this video. It discusses whether or not human released greenhouse gases are responsible for global warming. The views of the skeptics and people who believe greenhouse gases warm the earth are presented. After watching the film you will wonder why anyone would actually be skeptical of man induced global warming. It presents a great deal of scientific evidence that not only has the earth been warming since the industrial revolution, but it is because of carbon dioxide released in the air from the burning of fossil fuels. It also discusses the problem of developing countries and how regulation of fossil fuel burning will affect them. This video is a must for anyone who is not sure what to believe and for anyone who wants to show their conservative friends that the current administration's view of global warming is irresponsible and idiotic.
