San Andreas Quake: Magnitude 10

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.

From the cinema trailer i expected totally something else. I literally wasted 80 minutes of my life. This crap movie does not either deserve one star. I think i can be a better actor than that second hand actors and i am a musician. So predictable, so lame, a piece of %%$# in other words. DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE! It's horrible. I can't even imagine that a movie can be so horrible. I though that i watch cartoons at some point. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL MY RATING: -10/10. I can't even write something about this movie because there is nothing to write, it's a very very very bad scenario, forget everything i said. EVERYTHING is bad in this movie. Don't Watch it! You'l have nightmares.

This movie contains all the clichés from the 60's disaster movies with none of the saving graces. The only thing missing is Los Angeles turning turtle in middle of the Pacific Ocean and everyone climbing up towards the keel. There is even an old man having a heart attack climbing stairs.

Writing is terrible, the dialogue is pedantic, and the special effects are directly out of the 90's.

The characters are barely one dimensional and the plot totally predictable. Clearly the producers are counting on the confusion of names: "San Andreas" vs "San Andreas Quake."

Glad that I did not pay to see it, but I still want my 90 minutes back!

The film gets 1/10 for the plot, but the acting is lame and unconvincing, the dialogue predictable, and the special effects laughable. Especially the hippo. Disney hippos were more convincing in Fantasia.

The stock footage of a giraffe in the African Savannah, shoehorned into footage of two people in an LA canyon took some balls. Also there is no way a couple celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary by buying a diamond necklace, would have booked a dirty bedroom full of cheap furniture and a nursing home chair in an expensive hotel.

Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful. Although it did make me laugh out loud several times, at each WTF!! moment.

Avoid.

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,
