San Andreas Quake

The Asylum is back with another great Mockbuster. Having brought us previous masterpieces such as Snakes on a Train, Transmorphers, AVH: Alien vs Hunter, The Day the Earth Stopped, Paranormal Entity, and Sharknado.

I find it hilarious that these guys actually make money by tricking people into thinking it's a different movie. At least sometimes the title has a little creativity in it, and that's about it. But "San Andreas Quake"? They basically only have one job, create a title that will fool people into thinking it's a much better movie, and they can't even do that properly. What sort of title is San Andreas Quake? They aren't even trying.

For every blockbuster movie (sorry Dwayne Johnson) there is a spin off...or rip off take your pick.

Whilst not a fan of of spin off's I decided to see this one and it turned out to be a waste of 80+ minutes. If you are thinking of watching this, wait until it comes out on the SyFy channel or something and if you have absolutely nothing to do with your time except count sheep.

With these kind of earth altering event movies, you of course have to through some notion of reality out of the window. The question then is then in this span of imaginative film, is it at least believable? No. The acting wasn't very believable although to give them credit, the budget on assumption couldn't have been that much.

The storyline was of course weak, and there was no way it could be any different either. How much of a story could you develop from earthquakes? Charlton Heston carried his movie (years ago) but these actors aren't a speck off his caliber.

With that said, the lead actors do not carry the movie either so whatever fragment of story is there isn't really held together too well.

Save your time, go and watch the blockbuster version. This is a SyFy flick at best.

If you want to know exactly how it feels to be in an earthquake, this is the movie to watch.

From the technical explanation of seismic events, to the the way an earthquake causes a bridge to collapse while nearby buildings and trees are completely unaffected (the trees are not even shaking).

The amount of thought and know how that's been put into the making of this movie is awe inspiring, and is only surpassed by the quality of the cgi and special effects. This truly is a masterpiece.

Oh sorry., maybe it's my sarcasm that can be cut with a knife

This movie is a piece of junk, period. Apart from the fact, that this movie seams to be a complete ripoff of a similarly titled movie, there is not an original idea to be found throughout the 1:20 runtime. In general the actors seem embarrassed to even be in this movie, and the only positive thing I can say is, that it wasn't so bad I couldn't watch it all the way to the end,

This is the first time I have ever felt compelled enough to write a review... That being said, this movie was so incredible awful that I had to contribute to the already terrible ratings (which I should have looked into prior to watching). Like many others before me, I simply do not know where to start. The acting, the story, the special effects- ALL just absolutely horrible. I was actually under the impression that this would be the 2015 San Andreas movie starring "The Rock" - clearly that is not the case, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. This is where my review ends - I cannot possibly waste any more of my precious time on this planet discussing atrocious excuse of a amateur movie. :( sad panda

It'd difficult to know where to begin. Firstly I guess it's my own fault for not looking too closely, but this wasn't the movie I was expecting to be watching. A friend of mine worked on "San Andreas", and I know his FX work is way better than I was seeing on screen. The next big mistake was to carry on watching it. What an absolute pile of trash. 80 odd minutes I've lost for all time. Please take my advice, don't bother watching this movie, It's VERY badly acted, technically..! It would be very insulting to decent film and media students to compare them. And the....... actually, there's really no need to break it down any further. It is simply AWFUL.
