Destruction Los Angeles

After 15 minutes you just hope that all characters die in the disaster.

Well, truth be told then I had very little expectations to "Destruction Los Angeles". So why watch it, you might ask. Well, because it is a natural disaster movie and I have something for those movies. There is just something primordial in the forces of nature, and I do enjoy watching movies where nature runs rampart and wrecks destruction on our world.

However, "Destruction Los Angeles" turned out to be a rather weak movie in the genre, and it didn't take more than maybe 20-30 minutes before my attention started shifting from the screen to my mobile phone.

The characters in the movie were just flaccid and one-dimensional. It was somewhat of a nice surprise to see Craig Sheffer in the movie. I actually don't remember seeing him since "Night Breed".

Disaster movies are bound to have proper special effects and CGI in order to be convincing. Yup, that wasn't the case for "Destruction Los Angeles". No, the special effects and CGI in the movie were mediocre at best. At least they tried, but it just wasn't convincing. And that was a horrible blow to the movie.

If you enjoy natural disaster movies, then you might want to give "Destruction Los Angeles" a wide berth.

The actors are not the problem.

The writers are.

I had to skip a few scenes.

The makers of this movie shall get some bragging for daring to touch the disaster genre on seemingly low budget. there are many holes in the script and a pretty chaotic timeline. there are some good visuall effects but also some very primitive,pre-80's stuff. the plausability meter sways from 3 to 7 to 10 to1 to3 amd so on,and the end are weird and abrubt. so what did really happen.

the acting are b-movie like, not bad,but also not top notch. the score are merely terrible, but some of the sound effect are spot on to the natural sound of an earthquake and erupting volcano. its heavy weight stuff to make a product that appreciates the squemish viewer. i give it a max of 5.

You don't need to see this movie. You always know how the story goes!
