ShangLuda Admirable film.

calvinnme ... so I'm being more than generous for the cinematography, sound, and special effects (they do give out Oscars for these after all) and raising it to 3/10, and still I'm feeling very generous given it is neither Christmas nor my birthday. I thought this thing had been embarrassingly and quietly buried by the networks a decade ago, and there it was today on a cable channel! That I actually pay for! This thing is a camp classic that seems to aspire to be something in the vein of "Independence Day", except this film does not have Will Smith and manages to make that 1996 film look like Citizen Kane in comparison. A bunch of earthquakes strike up and down the west coast making Dr. Samantha Hill (Kim Delaney), "an intellectual earthquake expert" - do they actually give out such degrees and job titles? - believe that there is an even bigger earthquake coming. She manages to keep a straight face spouting lines like "These are not from our fault. They are from the faults affected by our fault." Hey this dialogue is somebody's fault! She predicts a "big one" will come and lop off a piece of the entire west coast UNLESS...they follow her cunning plan. Of course this involves nuclear warheads planted all along the west coast and therefore a massive migration away from the west coast for everybody. And we must have a tent hospital with lots of doctors out in the desert encampments being forced to make life and death decisions, acting like they have never had to do this before. Are these guys all podiatrists or something? But I digress.This thing drags on for four hours so we need lots of interpersonal relationships that need healing, including a father/daughter pair that I didn't recognize until today. Hey, that's Kaley Cuoco as the daughter when she was only 17, three years before "Big Bang Theory", here in a film in the tradition of Irwin Allen, who ironically believed in the theory that any film with a big enough bang is worthwhile entertainment! Oh, and then there is Jeff Bridges as the president, who proves he still has that common touch by playing basketball with Fred Ward's character, who although he is the FEMA director, actually gets his hands dirty in the disaster. Oh well, at least he wasn't at some horse show at the time. See Hurricane Katrina and FEMA director Michael Brown for reference.Well after four hours of sitting through this I will tell you that "the movie ends with a big explosion". It would have to, else there is really no payoff. I'm going to make you sit through the entire thing to learn anything more. If you must. Not recommended for anything but beer bong or drinking game enhanced laughter.

TheLittleSongbird Because the opening sequence was stupid and contrived for words. The rest of the movie is just as awful. From a technical standpoint, it is incredibly cheap. The dully lit scenery and crude-looking and unauthentic special effects were problems but was nothing compared to the constant zooming-in-and-out camera work, which got on my nerves as quick as when you say Bob's your uncle. The sound effects are just bizarre, and the music is over-bearing. The dialogue is so bad that you are left cringing at how aimlessly cheesy it is. The story is paced in such a plodding manner, with no surprises or genuine emotion as well as being ridiculously contrived. The characters may be clichéd, but they are also obnoxious and undeveloped ones. The acting is phoned in, and the direction is flat. And don't get me started on the science, I had a feeling there were going to be inaccuracies but I had no idea that there would be so many or that every single of them would be so implausible that you are both laughing and dropping your jaw at the television at the same time. In conclusion, a terrible movie with no redeeming qualities at all, it actually leaves you angry rather than laughing at its complete ineptitude. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Travis Brand First of all this TV movie is not that believable. There are things in this that will not happen but you must understand this is made for entertainment purposes only. This is fiction and not a documentary. So it doesn't have to be believable or it's science does not have to be correct. This has pretty good special effects for a made for TV Movie/Mini Series and not too bad acting though it maybe cheesy at times. It has some good actors in it like Fred Ward (Tremors & Tremors 2), Beau Bridges (Stargate SG-1), Jonathan Schneider (The Dukes of Hazzard and Smallville) etc. which is always a plus. So overall this movie is not too bad.
