Total Power Failure
The blurb on the DVD box made this sound very promising.
From the first scene, one had to wonder just what sort of production this was going to be. Thank goodness the bad guys shot that hysterical shrieking greenie - her acting was just too much to bear. I think we were all wanting to do that ourselves.
The earthquake scenes were so drawn out and repetitive, and the props so fake.
As for the first car chase, since when has every car involved in every car smash burst into flames?? (I think the German APCs did in Eagles Dare). The second car chase, when every car in LA was immobilized by the quake our second shrieker was able to talk on her mobile, avoid all the wrecks, and the pursuer was equally immune from the chaos. Like the first scene, it was a mercy when the poor girl perished.
Now, the ultimate destruction of the power plant was about as awful as the earthquake scenes.
Overall, perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen.
