San Andreas

It was entertaining, but not over-the-top. California massive earthquake, where heros and cowards alike fight for survival. Hairy situations, good luck, and a little suspenseful action. Not too bad, but not a blockbuster either. Question, though...my wife is from CA, and she knows things about earthquake dos and don'ts...you would think other Californians would know these basics too. Too many people died in the movie because of thoughtless actions, but it would not be a doomsday flick without population control (sorry, that came out very insinsitive). Johnson did a good job.

I loved the special effects and would watch it again (hope this never happens in real life though).The storyline was sort of typical and the characters were believable except when the daughter and her young rescuer kiss in a lull between shakes. I mean come on ... You're in the middle of "end of the world," can't find your parents, and ocean might come crashing through the windows any minute and drown you. You just met this guy in the middle of all the chaos - when did you have time to become attracted to him? Maybe a reassuring hug but the kiss just didn't fit in - at least for me.

Good movie with lots of action. Make sure to watch on as big a screen as available with good sound system. The special effects are great and really give you the fear factor of experiencing the next big quake! Coming from Northern CA myself, this is the event I've heard about my whole life so it didn't seem fake to me. Love Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson and think anything he does just gets better and better. Its definitely an action movie, so be prepared for lots of loud action sequences, but it also has a touch of family drama, and even some romance. A great popcorn, family night movie.

I really like Duane Johnson so I loved this movie. There is enough action and drama that it is enjoyable, but not so much that it is silly. Good plot and well played.

I really liked it. The plot was formulaic enough; but it all worked fine. A group of people thrown together, friends, family, strangers, working together to survive. The movie is well-paced with a couple interwoven threads. They tried real hard to balance the computer effects with good character development. The computer generated disaster deserves special mention here. They didn't economize on the CGI; it's non-stop and well-integrated with the movie, very well-done. And nothing struck me as technically implausible (other than,perhaps, his magic helicopter) But as for the 9.6 that destroys San Francisco, it's probably the least far fetch disaster movie to come along in quite a while.

The movie was amazing. The special effects were great. The movie had no pauses and it did not break at all while I saw it.

We watch this movie over and over and over again! I don't think I can ever get tired of "The Rock". I also like that no matter how many times you watch this you see something you didn't see the previous time you watched it. It is a great suspense movie. My husband hates anything that is extremely unrealistic and even he said it was a good movie. Some of the graphics are a bit far-fetched but it is expected with any type of action/suspense/thriller movie.I still recommend this to this day if anyone I know hasn't seen it! Growing up interested in the Fault lines this is a very real possibility someday and I find it to be eerily accurate on how I would imagine things to happen if the fault's did go off this way.

This was well done from beginning to end. The acting was appropriate and the characters engaging, plus there were very few groaner, pushing-the-envelope of willing suspension of disbelief moments, which often mar this genre. I appreciated the fact there were no overt political messages or abuse of sexuality. In short, the movie was ENTERTAINING, something missing from so many (offensive) movies today.

I feel bad for some of the reviewers on here. They must not enjoy any movie as they lack the ability to not overanalyze everything they see. I'm not sure how they sleep at night wondering if the velocity of every bullet in Saving Private Ryan was accurate or the acceleration rates in Fast and Furious was not correct given the amount of nitrous they were using. To all those people, please don't ever watch a movie on the SyFy channel. Any of them. For those who watch a movie without a notebook and stack of #2 pencils, this was really entertaining. It was a great action movie. The Rock was his typical self and he makes a great action star. Alexandra Daddario is just gorgeous and did a great job as well. If you like disaster movies, this is a great one.

This was actually a pretty good movie!
