A major earthquake rocked San Francisco. Even Mark Brandis and his crew talk currently on in the city. Only the nose of the Commander, it is thanks to them that the team of disaster escapes alive. Only a few minutes later, no stone is in San Francisco more on the other.
These are currently accumulating series of severe earthquakes, as mankind has so far not experienced yet evokes an entirely different, long-forgotten threat.
In a volcano in the middle of Africa a nuclear waste disposal has been established many years ago. A monstrous procedure - because a incipient earthquakes and an eruption of the volcano there would be incalculable consequences. Now it is to eliminate this danger at the VEGA ...
With the opening scene the producer once again prove their talent for the medium radio play. To realize such an action scene completely without the use of a narrator, needs some art tricks. Especially when the whole at the end even to appear comprehensible and not artificial.
The drama of the situation is here excellently supported by the growing list pace of dialogue texts and the associated game of the actor. In particular, Michael Lott should be emphasized once again commended in this scene. Just have to listen to a corresponding scene. A scene that played not just by the sheet away, but lived literally is. Truly, things really could not.
The transition from the familiar intro creates then with the onset of the music again properly spine-tingling atmosphere.
From such scenes I would have almost more desirable within this radio play some more. Then, this result would have been certainly encounter no longer so quickly from the throne of the best Mark Brandis consequences. However, the drama throughout history puts back a little - but not without always smolder with a certain threat in the underground. The rest, which is spreading in the middle of the result is all too deceptive. At the very end is then exactly the development, which was downright predictable. What consequences this will now have for the earth, we will probably find out until the autumn, when this adventure with two other radio plays is continued.
Conclusion: A story that begins with a dramatic and can come up to date best scenes of the series. In the course of it, despite the subliminal threat but lacks a little to the right thrilling moments. The distinguished only towards the end again when a dismisses the radio play with a nasty cliffhanger.
The implementation is on usual the highest level. An accurate soundscape in conjunction with the excellent play of the actor. Please many more Mark Brandis Please, radio plays: That reminds me remains only one thing to say!
