      Awful Movie

      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.
      stevehosford1970

      Wow...

      Just finished watching this mercilessly horrid waste of time.

      Movie summary: an hour of bad acting, an earthquake, a second hour of bad acting while walking in circles around the same pile of rubble.

      Michael Moriarty clearly wanted to be somewhere--ANYWHERE--but on the set of this "movie." Either that or he was preoccupied with the most unremarkable, tepid, and mundane sentences any actor could be unfortunate enough to deliver. The poor guy couldn't even manage to take his hands out of his pockets, he was so bored.

      The Statue of Liberty scenes are excruciating. I've seen better CG on Half-Life. I kept rooting for that whole mess of snotty teenagers to fall to their deaths. Dig that dude asking the girl out on a date WHILE TRYING TO AVOID DYING IN AN EARTHQUAKE! Yeah, RIGHT.

      And how about the shameless plugs for mindless patriotism? That wistful, admiring gaze up at the replica of the torch inside the base of the Statue of Liberty, and mommy singing "The Star Spangled Banner" to her little girl who's trapped under a pile of rubble (unscathed, mind you...just trapped.) And by the way, someone explain to me HOW IN GOD'S NAME the doll which she had just been holding ended up ON TOP of the pile of rubble beneath which the kid was now trapped?

      Seal this one up in a barrel marked HAZARDOUS and drop it in the same landfill with ASTEROID and TORNADO.

      Irregular movie with a great actress

      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.

      Do you want to know the truth about this film?

      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.

      it is a good film

      There are many great disaster films these days, most recent would have been Day After Tomorrow but this film i had to admit, is amazing. I like disaster films too, especially Twister, Volcano and said film mentioned. Although our ending is a bit soppy with our family reunited after being trapped round the city in different aspects of New York day by day life, yet they walk away from the disaster with a better outlook of life, despite the fact the earthquake is still in great effect, everywhere being covered in glass, buildings and such. but other than that, a very thought out film, I'm gutted myself it is not out on DVD or on TV again, the good films always get the short end of the stick.
