AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

elliott78212 Now I'm not saying its 2012 I have seen worse movies on the sci-fi channel. A likable cast of B & D list actors, some moments of unintended hilarity, and decent special FX, make this a popcorn movie for the whole family. The beginning made me laugh this dude on a bike not gonna giveaway anything there you will judge for yourself. Now some reviewers have talked about the bad science the over the top this and that but I think any film like this we suspend one part of belief just to watch and enjoy none of these type films is totally plausible so putting that aside is important, like seriously as good as 2012, or Day after Tomorrow were you have to admit they were no more realistic just bigger budget. I thought this was better than Earthquake with Charleton Heston.

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

stumpmee77 That was all that biker at the opening of this film had to do--that and get off the bike and run for his life. Staying on a less balanced object on a continuously shifting terrain just didn't make a heap of sense to me.This movie made the movie "Earthquake" in the 70's appear a classic. The primary aspect that made that earlier film so gripping by comparison is it didn't throw science into its scenario ergo it's credibility is higher. The characters were also more well-rounded; there was at least one or two I actually cared for in that. It also didn't end happily and/or contain the unbelievable strokes of luck or deplorably by the numbers characters that have been littering many of Sci-Fi channels so called "orignal films". This includes but not limited to: The Hill character with the husband that wants a family, how many times that's been in their original films as well as the Mayor's ex trying to redeem himself with the brat daughter who I wanted to slap and everything comes out hokey-dorry after some trials and tribulations?Now the Earthquake 70's film aside, it was bad on it's own merit being more predictable than usual. Nukes to end a problem came out my mouth the same time the 1st time it was said. When the quake in the near the last half hour of the film, it pops in my head, "Not the last one." And sure enough--Dang, that's the only area where I wasn't disappointed.I honestly think NBC worked in association with the Sci-Fi Channel to create this joke.

disdressed12 i just don't understand it.this movie has a very low rating and many people are bashing it for not being scientifically accurate.but who really gives a crap if it's scientifically accurate.it's not a documentary,it's a fictional movie meant to thrill and entertain.and in theta regard it succeeds,in my opinion.the action scenes are spectacular and the special effects/CGI are very impressive,not just for a TV movie,but for movies in general.true,CGI is not completely real looking and may never be,but so what.it's escapist entertainment,not reality.i watch or go to a movie like this one to escape reality,not for a history,or science lesson.for me,this movie is entertaining and very thrilling.i was on the edge of my seat a lot.at times the action seems unrelenting and overwhelming,but in a good way.i love the feeling of my nerves and whole body on overdrive.it means the movie did what it is supposed to do.if you want a history or science lesson,go watch a documentary on those subjects.if you don't like these kinds of movies don't watch them.i saw this movie last night and my nerves were still on fire long after.as a result,i had to wait until today to write this review.i love this movie.it is the best disaster movie i have seen yet.10.5 gets 10.5*/10 from me
