10.0 Earthquake (2014)

Boring

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Fracking earthquakes hit Los Angles and threaten the big one. Jack (Henry Ian Cusick) a divorced engineer must save his family, get back with his wife and save the city, which you already know if you have ever seen a disaster film. In this feature, there is only one child to save (Heather Sossaman) and he goes after her before he knows she is in trouble. Jeffery Jones imitates Christopher Lloyd as a scientist. Once again Chasty Ballesteros gets a role as the token "hot Asian chick."Very boring. Very formula.Guide: F-word. sex. no nudity .BTW, due to fracking there are now more earthquakes per year in Oklahoma than California, but the threat of Tulsa falling off into the ocean is not a very convincing film, although I am sure Asylum could pull it off.

I have been putting off watching this for a while due to star ratings but I don't usually let them get the better of me. This time, I waited and started watching last night. I have to say that I was more than a little disappointed.The effects were mediocre although something I would expect for a 'Sunday afternoon film'. It was an interesting concept and the reasons for the LA-based devastation were a little far-fetched however the idea behind it was sound. It felt like they were trying too hard to give it a Blockbuster feel.Acting was OK. Little quips were giggle-worthy and this was not altogether a worthless use of my time - however, I can't say I would watch it again.Spoilers: The (obligatory) dog survives - *phew*

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!

Hilariously badly made movie that I discovered today on Netflix. Low budget, cliché ridden melodrama that had me crying with laughter at the end with all the dreadful acting, poor dialogue and cheesy tropes, naff earthquake CGI and predictable plot. What finished me off was the scene with the heroes waiting to take off in the helicopter just so that the cute dog could be rescued on time. Did I also mishear or did someone really say "You bet your sweet bippy"? If so, I haven't heard that line since Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In in the 1960s.So bad that I actually found it entertaining, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
