Continental Split

No one from SEMO would mispronounce the names of the towns. Yawn.

The town is New Madrid. It's not in Spain. It's in Missouri.

As a native Sikestonian, learn the local language before using it.

Sikeston or New Madrid aren't cities. They are just towns. The cities in Missouri are Springfield, Saint Louis and Kansas City.

The New Madrid fault line has a rich history. No mention of it. The proposed epicenters are well known.

The local accent usage is a side bar of possible update as well.

Make it believable. The Mississippi River is a huge factor in the impending quake. And it is a deep, swift and demanding river. It is no casual kayak ride. Barge workers risk their lives daily to work on it.

It's obvious whomever directed this had no accurate knowledge of the area or the situations that are prevalent and current. Someone should have spoken to the mayor's office, since it is mentioned in the movie and gotten relevant facts. They are always ready and willing to help if a movie is going to be made representing our area.

I didn't expect anything good about this movie when I started watching because it is an Asylum prodution. Most of the movie goes exactly how I expected: Bad to mediocre CGI, bad to good acting (usually Asylum productions have leads that can act and supporting characters that can't) bad screenplay, uninteresting plot that usually has two main plotlines: a personal one (family drama) and a threat that the protagonists must face and resolve and of course the government doing government stuff, meaning opposing the protagonists by being completely stupid. This is exactly how this movie goes. What surprised me was that in the last 20 minutes I actually cared for the protagonists a little and wanted to see them succeed. I would give this movie a 2 but since it made me care I give it a 4. It also made me laugh. The protagonists used various CGI helicopters and the earthquake chased them and wherever they would put a sensor the earthquake would attack and knock it over and they would have to retrieve it and place it elsewhere.

As another Missourian, and someone who's traveled, please learn how the locals pronounce the town at least. It's like how Kansans know the river is pronounced "Ar-kan-zis" when it's within our borders, but our local news guy, who's been here for decades, still calls the town south of Wichita "Ar-kan-saw City."

Low budget, special effects are not that special. And the plot is literally the same as in the movie Twister. Same sorta-divorced couple, who used to work together, suddenly working together again on an invention to help predict earthquakes. Only difference is she's supposed to be getting married instead of him and they have 2 grown children.

Was disappointed 10 minutes in. The actors didn't even check to see if they were pronouncing location names correctly. And the locations looked nothing like the areas the actual towns. Marston isn't a 5 minute walk from the river, also the Mississippi River in this areas is over a MILE from shore to shore, the body of water shown in the movie was basically a drainage canal. It was maybe 100 feet across. In the first 30 minutes the only realism I saw was the drone image of the Capitol Building in Jefferson City. Let's not even talk about the rift traveling perpendicular to the actual fault. It's the worst film I've seen in years.

Timing of this movie is interesting. Not much info and very glossed over; it is a fast-moving movie that mostly focuses on what they could do to stop it rather than the real horror that would ensue amongst the people. Zero depth to it; not so engaging and repetitive like most disaster movies. Afterwards you have nothing to take home about it.

The plot could have shown clues amounting over the previous ten years that would point to its inevitability, then shown the aftermath of the people, how they cope, react and how the country was affected, which states got hit worse, and how they go on after the split. What they will do to rebuild....
