This is an awful movie. Avoid at all costs. The effects are terrible, plot is unoriginal, and acting isn't all that great. All in all terrible movie. You really shouldn't waste your time on this poor excuse for an action film. While watching I kept thinking how stupid the movie was and how fake the effects were. The silly poor effects distract you from the silly poor storyline. You can't help but think what a stupid movie this is.
OH. MY. GOD. If you've seen... Twister, perhaps, you'll know it's got a decent reputation and has some mean special FX. Not much of a plot, but in these films it don't really matter. URGGHHHHHH! This film was one of the worst I have EVER seen in my LIFE! The Special FX were like the ones of a computer game, they didn't even look real (The statue of liberty was the graphics quality of the first tomb raider.)! The dialogue was the worst EVER, especially since the only thing anybody can say in the film is "Oh my god...". The main guy is macho deepvoice dumbass, a crap performance. He dodges a serial killer with dumbass style (doesn't have a brain but the muscles make up for it.) Slick hair, nothing under it. The performances, actually, are genuinly terrible, the kid can say "It's OK Mommy" but nothing else. At one point, a fireman can't see through a windscreen but he still smashes through a side window, not caring if someone's there. The main kid (about 16) should really visit drama school, they are the CHEESIEST lines ever. As smelly as Stilton. Everybody in the film should visit drama school.
END: This film SUCKS and deserves 1 star. Somebody should really teach the cast how to act, and the plot is a real bummer. PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU, DON'T SEE THIS FILM. AVOID.

While it's not the worst disaster movie I seen, but it still not good. There barely any story in this other people trying to survive a earthquake and saving people. The opening is something that I didn't see coming over what happen, but the whole topic about losing someone due to a disaster feels like a afterthought and isn't expand on that much. Also, some of the plotlines feels like it was forgotten like the serial killer plotline doesn't go anywhere interesting and ends very quickly. Even the Statue of Library disaster is barely in the movie and is forgotten about until near the end of the movie. The characters themselves are rather boring and bland throughout the movie. And the acting itself is pretty stale.
The disaster scenes are mostly ok with decent tension during it and some alright disaster set pieces. But the CGI looks pretty bad and is something from a PlayStation 2 game.
Overall, it's a mediocre disaster movie that is poorly put together.

Earthquake in New York is an irregular film with a poor special effects but this film is salved by the presence of Melissa Sue Anderson, she is a great actress and she is perfect like Marilyn Blake. The movie had been better if Melissa had been the star. The TV-series, "Aftershock: Earthquake in New York" is better although Melissa don' t appear.
I love this movie its New York whats not to love. Does anyone know where i can purchase hits movie please
