San Andreas Quake

About This Movie

So, 'San Andreas Quake' is one of those TV movies from 2015 that really dives into the disaster flick territory. The pacing? It's a bit uneven—a lot of build-up before the chaos, but when the earthquake hits, it channels that classic 'run for your life' vibe. The practical effects have their moments; it’s not groundbreaking but there’s a charm to the low-budget execution. The performances lean on the melodramatic side, especially from the lead, who’s trying her best to save her family amidst the impending doom. The tone mixes urgency with a sort of cheesy optimism that makes it distinctively entertaining. It’s a film that captures that B-movie essence while still trying to throw out some real tension.
