![]() While 'San Andreas Quake' is not quite among the Asylum's very worst, it is one of their worst recent efforts. From understanding that movie has mixed reviews, whereas 'San Andreas Quake' has been almost universally panned in the IMDb reviews. While this reviewer has not seen the movie 'San Andreas Quake' is ripped off of, 'San Andreas', it really does have to be really bad to be worse than this. There is always something fascinating however about their badness, their best efforts are reasonably entertaining but rarely rise above mediocre but at their worst their movies are intelligence-insulting and an assault on the senses. Very few of The Asylum's movies are good at all, let alone great, being poorly made, badly written and acted and far too derivative. A 12.7 magnitude quake would wipe out all life on Earth except for a couple of hippos and a giraffe and some car thieves. Whatever you do during an earthquake do not check on the baby hippo.Argue with the National Guard. There are some wires under the dash that hang down so you just rub them together to start the car. Los Angeles drivers all leave their cars parked on roadsides with the windows rolled down and no Club on the steering wheel. New skyscrapers fall before the 100 year old hotel. The writer probably did not know the San Andreas fault is east of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is shaking from a quake on the San Andreas, so the people are told to flee to the east. Overacting causes the ground to shake and it is picked up by some sensors. The actors have been released from jail after promising never to do a movie together again. To copy-cat the movie is okay, but do it with more effort, not just with the attitude of neither here nor there.ĭefinitely worth watching. I wonder, whether in real life this kind of movies really has any fans. All in all, I know this is a movie and you expect exaggeration on the story, but Asylum is really making this movie with the assumption that most (if not all) the viewers are stupid idiot. I would have thought underground tunnel is one of the most dangerous place to be, but not in this movie. Of all the things that defy the logic, I would not think that in the earth-quake situation, you will try to go through the underground tunnel to reach a place. I am not sure who give the background information on the technology, but when your cellphone does not work, logically the wireless equipment also not working ? Right ? Wrong., because in this movie, your cellphone quit working but your other wireless equipment will also quit working, but not in this case the wireless equipment that is showing the earth-quake keeps on having the internet connection and feeding the data as well even after the big quake happens. Since nobody believe her, our hero has to go half across the state of California to save her family. ![]() It is always a disgraced brilliant scientist which no one believe who developed the method of finding the most important information to support the story. Of course there are some CGI scenes with the collapsed building, broken road, damaged bridges and fires (although I have no idea, why there is always fire) and to complete the danger, a high voltage cable which is floating around to kill people. Most of us have seen the picture of devastation in 1906 during the California's earth quake caused by similar San Andreas fault. There is no logic in this movie, there is no plot and I don't even know what the story is about, except it is about the famous San Andreas Fault. Surely they must understand that making a crappy movie will mean loosing money. For a company who has made hundreds of movies, I am really surprise that they have never graduated from the B grade or just quit the business of making movie. I don't even know if this kind of movies will see the day they deserve in the cinemas. ![]() As with all the other movies made by Asylum, you have to understand this is a B grade movie. First it is made by a company called Asylum and second don't get excited by the pamphlet which is showing people hanging out on a chopper. There are 2 things that you have to keep in mind when you are watching this movie.
