Does the captioned phrase mean "good movie scenes of volcanoes"?
Scientists say it could go either way. Their biggest worry: a lahar. That's right: a lahar. Lakes of lava lapping at people's heels are for Hollywood volcanoes. Real ones kill with lahars, pyroclastic flows, and other dangers less photogenic--but faster moving and more deadly--than molten rock.

Yes. The context is that real volcanoes are less dramatic that Holleywood's version of volcanoes.
