10.0 Earthquake (2014)

Fresh and Exciting

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

In this California earthquake movie, fracking is responsible for setting off increasing earthquakes which will lead to the collapse of the entire LA basin if not halted.Emily (Cameron Richardson) is a new seismologist with a theory who gets grumpy 'ole seismologist Gladstone (Jeffrey Jones) to convince Jack, the engineer at company doing the fracking, what disaster is to come if the company is not shut down.In the interim, Jack and his wife are just about to be divorced, but reunite to try and save their daughter who is in the middle of the danger zone. Predictable? Yes. Worth the watch? Good one for the teens sleepover.

Anyone who takes this movie seriously needs a head doctor...! Urgent! I was truly entertained by this. Of course its not as bad as classics like Troll 2, Samurai Cop, but it has it all: Bad acting, horrible scripting, bad effects, stupid one liners...I don't know if it's done purposely or not, don't care really, it just takes the disaster movie gender (which is famous for being bad and not even being aware of it) to a whole new level of shlock,taking a giant crap on it!Definitely a must see if you're into that sort of movie, I guarantee you're going to laugh the entire piece!

I'll give this a 7. Seems like everyone else has this at a 2 or below. Okay, why? Cons: Cliché, cliché, cliché. Won't give anything away but it is true, this movie if full of clichés. But if you ask me the pros ain't so bad. Pros: The dialogue and screenplay save this movie. There are a few solid laugh- out-loud moments in the writing department. Don't want to give them away but this is not by far as bad as some are saying. And I do cherish LOL when it happens. The effects, I've seen worse. Granted this was seen on a computer monitor but still, fine with me, I knew what I was getting into. Did I mention clichés? Yeah, if they had, for example, made this person not the baddie...? Or... And the acting was above par for a disaster movie and if it weren't for some of the clichés the characters would have been even better- but even with the clichés I think job well done. Mind you I'm grading a 7 on TV disaster fair. And of course a few glasses of wine helps too.

Was having a browse through Netflix as you do and spotted this film. Never heard of if but thought I'd give a go as it sounded right up my street. Didn't take long to figure out that my salary would have produced a better movie and though clearly a tongue in cheek knock off of more expensive and bold disaster flicks, It was still a poor movie. After the last 10 cents was spent on editing even the director himself surely cringed with embarrassment at what was left but had been fiscally left with no choice but to release it. I gave it far more respect than it deserved by watching to the end in the vain hope that even this silly piece of twaddle may turn up an exciting finale....... Unfortunately not and all I was left with was an overwhelming sense of unfulfilment and the desire perhaps for the ground to open up beneath me
