Quite literally the blockbuster of the year. Read full review

There are big, loud entertainments like “Mad Max: Fury Road” that I find myself enjoying even with my critical-thinking cap on, and then there are movies like San Andreas that somehow go straight to my lizard brain; this movie’s dumb, and its portrayal of urban devastation borders on the pornographic, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t entertained.

I enjoyed large chunks of San Andreas, largely because the actors give it a full load of sincerity, and there's some bizarrely effective comic relief thanks to Hugo Johnstone-Burt and Art Parkinson as Brits who picked the wrong week to visit the Bay Area. Read full review

Handsomely shot by Steve Yedlin, Rian Johnson’s regular cinematographer, and boasting a typically likable Dwayne Johnson as its star, San Andreas nonetheless struggles to drum up tension or interest, even as skyscrapers topple like Jenga towers and massive tidal waves sweep through San Francisco Bay.

The very earnest human drama fits awkwardly into the action and isn’t helped by some unconvincing performances and weak dialogue. Read full review

In Brad Peyton's San Andreas, the biggest earthquake in recorded history is less natural disaster than divorce negotiation process. Read full review

San Andreas, by its very nature, begs, borrows, and outright steals from other, occasionally better, disaster epics. Read full review

AMAZING is the only word I can use to describe this. I would rate this the best movie of may 2015. Drama cliffhanger-placed movie, which keeps you at the edge of your seat. Would recommend to everyone 11+

Talk about none stop action. This movie totally was a nail biter for me, and gave slight chills. The possibility (or shall I say when it happens) of this actually happening even makes for a more compelling movie.

The possibility (or shall I say when it happens) of this actually happening even makes for a more compelling movie. I really liked it and would definitely put this on a must much watch a few times. Don't listen to any of the negative reviews out there watch it for yourself and you decide, guaranteed you will not be overly disappointed.… Expand
