Shockwaves

Oh my goodness, this film is so amateur that you wouldn't even expect to find it on YouTube. There was no editing on the low vocalization in many shots, the dad acted like he was sleeping, and the special effects were reused a number of times, if you can call them that. And one seen the girls get squashed by a huge tree and then the next scene they're running like nothing happened. One girl gets killed by a rock slide and then the next scene they're all asking each other are you OK and everyone says yes, and this is after they're nearly feet from the cave opening but she used to shelter under part of the cave instead of just running out. There was zero acting and zero editing on his thing, and to simulate the earthquake everybody just pretended that they were losing their balance lol. So just for the fun of it I decided to give it five stars in case it was a high school project that accidentally got put on Tubi. I did not finish watching this but managed to get halfway through it.

Horrible acting. Do not waste your time.

I have watched a lot of bad movies but this is actually the worst yet. The acting was not good at all. This cast was so bad that I didn't even bother trying to.find.other movies.or tv shows they have been in.

The fake rocks in some scenes looked like bowling balls.

In events like an earthquake the re should have been more emotion...there was absolutely none.

I have seen elementary and high school plays that had better actibg.

It was just a horrible badly done movie...In my opinion.

I am only writing more because you are required to have six hundred characters in a review.

The volume balancing throughout this was utterly absurd. I only let this play through as I was doing something else and was too busy to change it. My mistake.

So many moments of "you're about to die and all you can do is deadpan "oh no"?

I've been to the Nevada desert. The sand had more personality than the cast.

If I were involved in this movie I'd petition to have this entire thing destroyed. Every trace. I'd be mortified.

I love me a good natural (... Ish) disaster movie but dear lord this was so dry it made my fish thirsty. My plants wilted. My hamster hid in her own bunker praying for me to end it. I'm surprised the cat didn't try to attack the TV. My big dog kept fleeing the room, even he, the giant love bug he is, felt the vicarious humiliation of being involved in something that should have been deleted from all hard drives and film before ever being released to the public. I'm going to have to take him to therapy.

The scenery of the 1 square mile where this was filmed was nice English countryside. Rolling hills. And the opening scene called one such large hill a "mountain". I laughed so hard that should have been a hint. I live at the bottom of one of the mountains on the Blue Ridge Parkway, calling that large hill a mountain was ... Entertaining. That's about all that was entertaining.

Seriously, everyone involved should be thoroughly ashamed and NEVER put this on a CV or film list. Ugh.

Were the actors asleep during the entire filming? F/X were apparently done by someone's 3 year old on an ancient PC running Windows 3. There was a splash of blood at one point that I was sure was someone's ketchup packet accidentally spilled on the film and they just left it in because it was the only semi-realistic effect throughout the entire atrocity. Editing and continuity were afterthoughts, if even present at all. If you insist on watching this drivel, do it for the scenery. That was the only part they couldn't screw up. Do yourself a favor, don't watch this. Look, I'm sorry for the harsh words, and you can blame it on being American, and a steady diet of over-the-top summer blasters, but this seriously needed a major input of caffeine for everyone involved.

I love B movies, more than the yearly "blockbusters" which tend to be reheated leftovers. But B movies? That's my jam. However, this? This was even too bad for me. I don't like to rag on actors, since they're doing what the director wants. But these folks were just amazingly bad. Therefore the director must have been, too. The script and delivery were horrid and, as others have mentioned, the "special" effects were something a bright first-grader could conjure. I don't want to add spoilers for the brave souls who will still want to watch this dog's dinner, but do yourself a favor - paint a wall and watch it dry. Much more scintillating.
