Starting with the snow-capped mountains of West Virginia, the movie then showed us what an earthquake was...something that you detonated by blowing things up...and it caused gaping chasms to open in the ground while something like artillery shells blew up in the air. The notion that a tectonic plate would just kind of split with no reference to any preexisting faults (like, say New Madrid) other than the San Andreas fault just astounded me, but this is science stuff and people who make science fiction movies shouldn't be held to that.
The geographic ignorance seemed to complement the geological ignorance nicely. Let's see, the nearest city west of Boone County, West Virginia was Lexington, Kentucky. And a plane going down on the outskirts of St. Louis ends a smoking pile of twisted metal outside of Stillwater, Oklahoma. I wonder if any of them had a map in their glove-box when they were filming it.
But I was also amazed that none of the cast apparently had any problems with these things either.
A real upside of this was that the viewer didn't really care what happened to the characters. In fact, at the end of the year, everyone involved in it should probably get nominated for some sort of Darwin Award. And there's something to be said for a movie that you can watch without any sense of loss if you should fall asleep.
And that's an amazing comment for a movie that blows up the Grand Canyon, among other things...
The Movie is Better than 2012: Supernova (2009) by a Factor of about 2.0 on the Richter Scale but that is Saying Almost Nothing because that One is the Pits. Speaking of Pits, there are Quite a Few in this Mega Earthquake as Extinction Movie.
If there aren't Enough to Cause Some Serious Damage to a City or Three or Four (its hard to keep score in this as things are seldom very clear as to what is going on, just that something is and their watching it), well then will make a Mega Pit of our own. Say about as big as the Grand Canyon. That'll Show this Upstart Quake who's boss.
The Ending in this, yet another, Made for TV Movie, about the Ending of the World, just Goes On Forever with a Truck setting off Dynamite (by the MegaTons) in an Endless Chase to Outrun a Satellite, while the Aforementioned Sickly Girl keeps Reaching for the Sky at a Rope Dangling from a Helicopter. Does She Reach the Rope? Does the Truck Outrun the Satellite? You'll have to Watch to Find Out.......Or Not!
If you can believe that people can be as stupid as the characters in this movie and that the plot was good enough to pass a 6th grade English class, then this is the movie for you.
I didn't have to write any spoilers. You can easily guess what will be happening in the plot. If you can't guess, then go watch a few good old disaster movies and get yourself an education.
I could not wait for the entire world to blow up so that movie would be over. I had to settle for just turning off the TV.
The makers of this movie must have as their motto: "Quality, what's that?!"
If this movie were any more of a dog, it would shed!
Actually, it's kind of hard to get mad at something so "stupefyingly stupid" as this movie! (It looks like it was made by trolls.)
"Plan 9 From Outer Space", move over! A new worst movie joins you on the very worst movies list, meaning that at last there's a movie even lower than you!
If you liked "Crack In The World" with Dana Andrews, now you'll have something to compare it with!
