Absolutely brilliant!! The technical quality was great and I loved that the experience was so much more than just a film. You can feel the hot and the cold and you are (securely) in your seat. This I would do again.

This film is extraordinary! If you want to see some amazing real-life Icelandic volcano footage, here it is. The show features some great physical special effects in addition to the visuals. You will be amazed that no CGI was used to show what the recent volcanic eruption near Reykjavik looked like. Don’t miss this!

Definitely worth a visit when in Reykavik. Not too expensive and only lasts about 10 minutes (although there are plenty of interactive displays before entering the simulator) but way, way better than I thought it would be. Just hold on to your hats…..
