I sure liked the Movie Earth Quake Earth Quake in New york And I kindly should like too see it again because I'm A New York Disaster movie Fan but what upsets me is that no one likes New york Disaster films but me. And Again I wish I could see it again on T.V Or DVD Or VHS so I Can watch it over and over again. But the Movie Was Great and fantastic too see and again I wish that any one where I live in Grand Junction would like New York Disaster Films. But they don't except me Because I Liked the Person who made this Great Fantastic Film and again I'm A New York Disaster Movie Fan

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.
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.
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.

I bought this movie because I expected good special effects. It looks like they had a very small budget for this one. Terrible special effects, to simulate an Earthquake the only move the camera, bad actors.
This movie is not worth it, even if you see it on TV.
