The story of the film, or do not be surprised-I got involved enough especially with the character Blake in the end romped much for her to survive, and she survive and the happy ending amid catastrophe made me love it even more the film 10 / 10 Expand

I've been accurate on 12 of past 15 best pictue winners. Will usually read reviews before opting in on a theater visit, but on San Andreas i didnt. The Rock, action flic, plenty of popcorn CGI...honestly wasn't expecting much,but man was i wrong.....TOTALLY blown away!!! Best special effects EVER! Best action & suspense EVER! Most surprising was how the director was able to let the acting, script, and family backstory/lovestory trump the incredible action sequences!!!! Much like the Deccaprio Winslet backstory in Titanic found a way to trump the ship's demise, the character development, and outstanding acting found a way to do the same in San Andreas!!! No Titanic, but in my book....this one deserves a WHOLE lot more respect than it's getting!!! SO SAD that with its poor critical reviews, this work of art will never receive its due rewards & accolades.....can anybody say.."300". Lastly, if it had more blood, guts, foul language, and nudity???? I guarantee you'd be seeing rave reviews....that might be the saddest part of all. Expand

Creo que esta muy bien hecha, los efectos especiales son buenos y se sienten reales algunas reacciones de los personajes frente a los sismos que viven durante la película, si es cierto que se me hace un poco exagerado el primer terremoto de la película porque se supone que Los Angeles es una ciudad propensa a los terremotos y por ende sus estructura debe ser resistente y en la película el primero terremoto ya genera derrumbes de proporciones catastróficas y en la vida real si habrían daños pero no de esa magnitud al menos no en una ciudad como esa, a no ser que los estadounidenses sean un asco haciendo edificios Expand

Films that do bad or mediocre, are the ones where you can see the makers and actors have tried and the ones where you can see that a lot of love and thought went into them. This film fits into those unfairly reviewed films. This film is phenomenal and just amazing. And you know its actually good BC if you look on other sites or just anywhere else other than metacritic, you'll see that it has done well a long with all the other poor reception films. This is why metacritic should be discontinued, BC it's full of bias and clearly not regulated for hate reviews. Many other really good films have fallen victim to the metacritic scandal. Expand

Dwayne Johnson essentially becomes a super hero, setting out to rescue his wife and daughter from the increasingly intense catastrophe. Starting with the harrowing car wreck that opens the film, the devastation and derring-do get more and more amazing. The obstacles build, while the circumstances escalate with solid action and staggering effects. The human story at the center never gets in the way of the eye-popping destruction. Watching what cleverly-designed complication comes next adds to the fun. Grab your popcorn and hold on! This is the most spectacular disaster flick in years. Expand

The Rock actually gave a good performance, and Alexandria Daddario is a hottie whom I will keep track of in future movies. Paul Giammatti and the science of the movie's script were both credible and spot-on. The visual effects will likely be nominated for an Oscar in 2016. As for the 3D, it is totally immersive...I felt like I was there in the cities during a real earthquake at times. Compared to the Roland Emmerich film, "2012", "San Andreas" effects were different but equal to "2012". As an earthquake disaster film, "San Andreas" shoots to the top as one of the best. Being a published disaster film novelist, I was completely entertained. Sure, I will admit that some lines of dialogue were corny and logic and credibility were tested at times, yet director Brad Peyton was not trying to present a James Cameron "Titanic"-type masterpiece. His goal of generating realism, eye-popping visuals, and an overall good time at the movies was met. Was worth the wait! Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must admit, I loved the movie. I found very little wrong with it, except there were a few parts in particular that I felt were not explained well enough. I did not appreciate the one scientist dying for the knowledge of understanding and predicting Earthquakes before we understood what it was he was working towards. Also the entire time I was in the theatre I felt that the game would be geared mostly towards the Earthquake, but considering it was supposed to be the biggest quake ever recorded I was upset at how little it was actually shown. I feel like the tsunami completely shadowed over the main quake. 9 out of 10, Great story and acting. Needs work on the disaster front though. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. San Andreas is a good disaster movie to watch, starring Dwayne Johnson, Alexandria Daddario, and Carla Gugino. The film is about the San Andreas fault line in California going off, triggering a 9.1 in Los Angeles, and a 9.6 in San Francisco. We also get a neat scene in which a 7.1 destroys the Hoover Dam in Nevada. The drama behind the film is Dwayne is estranged to Gugino, but is reunited with her when Daddario is trapped in San Francisco. The two make it from Los Angeles to San Francisco, by helicopter, by stealing a car in Bakersfield, to flying an airplane than a stranger near King City, California offered them for the stolen truck. I won't spoil the rest of the movie, but I will say that it is set in San Francisco for the remainder of the film. The special effects are top notch, possibly the best of any other disaster movie. From the tsunami wave going over the Golden Gate Bridge to the collapse of Los Angeles' AON Center, this film won't disappoint in that factor. However, the cheesy parts with Paul Giamatti brought the movie down to a 9/10. "Who should we call?" asks a CalTech student. "Everybody" whispers Giamatti. Hahaha. Great movie though! Expand

Seriously guys stop comparing this film to 2012!! Disaster movies have been around for a long time and they are ALL pretty similar. The biggest difference with this film is that the rock is way more likable a lead then john Cussack.

This film knows what it is trying to be and it does it well, the plot is simple but takes time to flesh out the characters and the rock carries the emotional side plots with his family very well.

The action is well staged and looks great and the film manages to be thrilling the whole way through with a touch of heart and some simple character development.

All in all this a good example of a big budget disaster movie with solid performances and a simple but engaging premise.

And regarding 2012, that film had some good set pieces sure but it was strung together with lazy writing , annoying characters and a garbled confusing plot and terrible pacing.

San Andreas is the simple entertaining disaster movie that 2012 should have been.

If you ever liked disaster movies and just want to see a good example of one then watch this film. It isn't a cinematic master piece but it was never trying to be and it is a hell of a lot better then 2012 (I hate that film 3.5 out of ten).

Alexandra Daddario was good at playing a strong female character that needs to be present in more movies today. In the end I came out of the theater thinking that San Andreas was worth the money I paid the see it and I'm sure there will be many people will have fun with this movie. Expand

You won't find any OscarIt's big and it rarely takes a moment of pause - San Andreas is a massive disaster movie that has been done several times before, but it doesn't displace the awe that comes with destruction on such incredible scale. You won't find any Oscar performances here, just a roller coaster ride that carries enough twists and turns, ups and downs, to satisfy the thrill seeker in its intended audiences. The best part, from a science standpoint, is that these aren't just mindless earthquakes but sequential seismic events that are all a part of the fault-line that so many people in the Western United States are watching closely for the biggest disaster moment of the last century. Whether or not it will be quite THIS bad is anyone's guess, but San Andreas does a lot to walk through some of the scenarios that people might fact should something this horrific ever strike near home. Anyone walking into this should know what to expect and, if you do, you shouldn't be disappointed. Expand

The characters in this movie are under developed we know nothing about the characters, we just know that their there in this movie. In a disaster movie the film does not have to make the main character look buff or focuses on their biceps (like in this movie), it has to keep the character on edge and the audience has to have sympathy for the protagonist. We do care for him and his family, Dwayne Johnson does give a good performance all he does in this is save people. Alexandra Daddario as the daughter in this movie is annoying the actress tries way way to hard for this role. Carla Gugino was superb and Paul Giamatti was good too.

That's not to say that it's a great film or anything close to it. The plot is bog standard for the genre, and some of the dialogue is so predictable that you're likely to get there before the actors at least half the time.

But it looks terrific. If disaster porn isn't your thing, you'll probably be bored, but then why on earth are you watching a Dwayne Johnson film named after a fault line in the first place? Mr. Johnson is, by the way, as fun and charismatic as ever.

The film in a much smaller scale of destroying part of the US with earthquakes and tsunami, finds its success that not only Emmerich is the only director who should monopolize the genre. The outstanding quality, eye-popping CGIs, stunning visual effects of disruption, good shots of cinematography of the disruption, thrilling challenges for survival and powerful scores by Andrew Lockington are on par with "2012"; even the theory discussed in the film might seems erroneous but not entirely foolish and ridiculous. While it repeats the same mistakes - lacking of awareness and precautions on natural disasters, the spirits and the energy of the people to help each others during hard times is one of the most inspiring element that keeps engaging with audiences which is not found in other disaster films.

I truly enjoyed this film. Has a bit of the same feel as 2012 especially in the effects department but still a good film. Loved Duane Johnson. He stood out; not because he looked great in the wet grey tee. I would recommend this film.

The film revolves around veteran Ray Gaines played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (The Scorpion King, The Fast and the Furious) who after years of serving in Afghanistan returns and works as a helicopter pilot for the Los Angeles Fire Department. As the movie continues we learn that Ray Gaines is taking some time off from work in order to take his daughter Blake played by Alexandra Daddario (Percy Jackson, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D) to her first week of college. However, Ray’s plans get interrupted by the destruction of the Hoover Dam, forcing him and his Rescue Team to go to work. Upon his arrival, he finds that various earthquakes are starting to happen all over the San Andreas Fault that is affecting the entire state of California. As the earthquakes continue to occur, Ray’s ex-wife played by actress Carla Gugino (Watchmen, Night in the Museum, Sin City) and his daughter Blake become endangered, therefore he must come to their rescue. Along with these characters, we also have Lawrence a seismologist, played by Paul Giamatti (Sideways, 12 Years A Slave) who plays a key role in the film. Lawrence’s main goal is to inform the citizens of California to evacuate and find shelter during this disaster.

As a film, San Andreas is not a masterpiece by any means, but I can assure you that it is an absolute blast to watch on a big screen. The effects team behind this movie did an excellent job bringing the disaster onto the big screen. A lot of the destruction scenes looked sharp, especially the Tsunami scene that “The Rock” Johnson goes against in his boat.

As for the performances in the film, they were not as bad as I expected. Dwayne Johnson steals the show like always thanks to his charismatic attitude and presence on screen. And let’s be honest, if he was not in San Andreas, the movie would be a complete disaster. So props to Mr. Johnson for that. As for the rest of the cast, no one really stood out to me. One of the major problems seen consistently throughout the film was the horrible script written by Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel) and Andre Fabrizio (Vice, The Prince). Thankfully there were times that the horrible screenplay was forgotten, due to Dwayne’s charm.

Overall, San Andreas has proven to be time well spent at the movies. To truly enjoy this one, you simply have to make sure to turn off your brain, let go, and enjoy this disastrous wild ride.

Final Score: 7/10

This is a regular disaster film, in which most of the nonsense is not related to reality. But the scenes of destruction are perfectly shot and the tsunami scene is excellent. You need to watch this in IMAX on the big screen Expand

San Andreas does have flaws, but the bumpy ride through spectacular visual with rock solid lead proves to be an entertaining one. Using the same premise from many disaster movies such as 2012 and even Volcano from years before, San AndreasSan Andreas does have flaws, but the bumpy ride through spectacular visual with rock solid lead proves to be an entertaining one. Using the same premise from many disaster movies such as 2012 and even Volcano from years before, San Andreas delivers a more superior spectacle. However, it also copies many cliché elements. Cheesy script to build up tension and assortments of convenient plot devices are scattered through the story. This is a movie designed to entertain with over-the-top visual, and with welcomed addition of Dwayne Johnson as the lead, it succeeds in doing so.

In a streak of unfortunate geological events, California is in immediate danger of massive earthquakes. Ray (Dwayne Johnson) is a pilot of rescue helicopter who must journey across the quivering land to save his family. The calamity serendipitously offers a chance of reuniting the estranged father as he proves how far he's willing to go for his wife and daughter. This theme has been done so many times, Day After Tomorrow and 2012 comes to mind. Luckily, The Rock is a demanding on-screen presence, with charisma and superhero physique, he's a good cast as the savior type.

The script offers back stories, while not all of them pan out, The Rock does his best to convey his character. Another perspective is presented by Paul Giamatti as Lawrence, a professor who investigates the incoming catastrophe. He's here to deliver partially scientific explanation to the audience. Ironically, his role is quite predictable with foreshadowing comments to get the momentum rolling.

Visually, San Andreas is breathtaking. Expect tons of falling buildings witnessed in extraordinary viewpoints and multiple set pieces to awe the audience. There's one particularly amazing continuous shot that follows characters as they weave back and forth as everything collapses around them. It will not disappoint those who come for high octane explosive scenes.

It does have several problems like predecessors of the genre. Some of the sequences are highly implausible, most notably with the characters having plot armor and impeccable timing. Dialogues are not always charming as only few moments of the human drama are thoroughly engaging. It then eventually sets up for resolution analogy or the inspirational survival gimmick. Audience should be familiar with this method of suspending disbelief.

Although the plot can be faulty, San Andreas is still a visually delightful journey. Presentably fascinating for a popcorn flick.

You also have the Rock of course having to be there for his ex wife (Carla Gugino) and be the hero she and her daughter needs. While Gugino's new boyfriend of course is a coward. The Rock and Gugino some how finding time to discuss where their marriage went wrong is also pretty cliche.
However the movie has great cgi and plenty of exciting gripping moments. While the Rock and Carla Gugino (Spy Kids) work well together and they should; this is like their 3rd movie together. I was into the movie throughout despite deja vu from many disaster films that have come before it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film begins with a scene of a careless driver who seems to have no regard for her safety and well being, or that of others. If you were in the mood to search for deeper meanings in a supposedly dumb action flick this is almost a subtle introduction to the story. The film's disaster earthquake that wrecks everything could be taken as symbolic for Ray and Emma's divorce and the damage that the separation of families does to children.

That said, this is about as deep as the story goes. As is typical of action movies the action takes the front seat instead of the plot and in San Andreas it is just exciting enough to make you ignore the plot weaknesses. If anything San Andreas could have done with less unnecessary back story and cringe worthy dialogue.

Particularly the worst part would have to be the Malory Talk where it gets all dramatic as Ray is talking with Emma about their dead daughter. It is just so out of tone with the rest of the film. And of course I did not think for one second that Blake was actually going to die.

Overall San Andreas is an enjoyable action flick that is fun to watch but nothing too special that you would have to rush to the cinema to see it.

San Andreas is today's vision of The Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact and 2012 but a lot more fun.

The story San Andreas is about a massive earthquake rocks California, a rescue chopper pilot will stop at nothing to find and save his estranged daughter.

So I just San Andreas and I had a lot of fun watching it, it's not a amazing movie if I'm looking at it closely and yes the movie dose have it's flaws, but really what was I expecting from this movie? well I was expecting Dwayne Johnson character saying really cheesy one liners that are bad but funny. Big CGI environment, dramatic music from every disaster movie out in the 90's and everyone being dead serious. And I got some of that but not that the cheesy one liners which I'm glad it's not in the movie.

Who every says that Dwayne The Rock Johnson can't act...you are right but this guy has been acting for a while now and it's getting pretty old saying he's acting wooden, same with Arnold Schwarenegger he's been performing for almost 40 years now and everybody just accepted his acting as I think everybody knew it got old after a while saying the same thing. Both have something in common, both can't act but at least they both have that likability to them that every time they on screen I'm happy to see them, because they both really likable in real life. Dwayne Johnson in this movie pulled off a action hero very well and at least he had fun with the role and he didn't take it way way too seriously.

Now it comes to disaster movies you got to have good visual effect's and for the most part this movie did have good effect's. It really helped to set the scale of a big disaster and it give the action scenes that solid concrete impact that a movie like this needed.

Now for problems: When I said some of the CG was good, well there was some noticeable and fake looking CG at times. The opening of the movie which involves a car crashing and hanging off a deep hole in the background. Some of the effect's worked and some didn't.

The character's in the movie are so freaking retard and I don't mean Dwayne Johnson, Paul Giamatti and Carla Gugino character's, I mean the supporting character's. This isn't really a spoiler for the movie but these a scene where Dwayne Johnson daughter played by Alexandra Daddario, she's stuck in the middle of this disaster and then she finds out about a tsunami that's on it's way due to all of the earthquake's, and what does she do? goes into a unfinished building that's not even close to done and she thinks that would save her from the tsunami, nope the building couldn't hold the power of a giant freaking waving that's more power then other wave (The movie made that point out about the tsunami and earthquake's) and it starts flood the whole building and soon falls over.

I got nothing against Alexandra Daddario. I've seen her do a solid performance in TV shows and movies, but she wasn't all that great in the movie, actually she was pretty bad. She kept doing that boring looking face even when this big disaster is happening around her.

Overall San Adreas is a enjoyable action movie. As I said before it's not flawless but it's better then most disaster movies that we got today. I thinking if this movie came out in the 90's this would have been a smash hit and this could have been the next Independence Day, just think about it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In the aftermath of a massive San Francisco earthquake, a rescue pilot makes a dangerous journey across the state in order to save his family.

Dwayne Johnson is charming and manly as always, playing the pilot who saves his estranged wife Carla Gugino from a crumbling tower and together set out to find their daughter, delivering cheesy one liners along the way. Their daughter, played by Alexandra Daddario, is on a journey of survival as she befriends Hugo Johnstone-Burt and his younger brother. Meanwhile Paul Giamatti, along with Archie Punjabi's news team, try to understand the earthquake's movements and warn the city in order to save lives, with cliche dialogue that is now expected from these kind of films. San Andreas keeps a focus on these characters, with some time for Ioan Gruffudd and his strange sudden shift from likeable step-dad to a cowardly survivor who meets a timely death. Kylie Minogue makes a cameo... but to zero affect.

The silly but exhilarating action sequences are worth the price of admission, especially the boat race over the tsunami and destruction of the Golden Gate Bridge. Overall It's nothing we haven't seen before from modern disaster films, with a family drama played out alongside stunning but repetitive special effect sequences.

It’s wildly noisy and action sequences just run one after another, leaving us catching our breaths. Who can breathe when tragedies seem non-stop? Though it becomes overkill and indulgent, the movie is undeniably exciting, bracing and intense. Broken roads and bridge (oh Golden Gate!), collapsing skyscrapers and structures (oh Hoover Dam!), mile-high waves, ship crashing into buildings and almost all elements of an exhilarating disaster film are present in San Andreas. Combined with realistic and awe-inspiring CGI effects, the movie is visually amusing.

However, San Andreas just banks on being entertaining. It has no solid plot and character development. As much as the film lightly rests on scientific truth, its plot is too shallow and dense. There are moments where innocent people get swept in the catastrophe. They should have been touching but they are not because it feels that the movie has no sense of human loss, of death and of its misery.

Sadly, the actors are not helpful as well. Johnson’s popping muscles, Gugino’s elegant grace and Daddario’s pretty face are attractive on scream but their performance falls short of being appealing. They don’t strike any chemistry and they simply look like a bunch of Hollywood stars running on rubbles or practicing impromptu stunts. Even in serious scenes when the audience should have shed a tear or two for them, they won’t because those moments are far from being moving but too close to being cheesy.

San Andreas is a good movie to watch while gulping a bottle of beer or munching some potato chips or popcorn. It only explores the emotion of being thrilled and high. But if you are up to something profound or even close to heart-wrenching or mind-boggling, better take your beer or chips and find something else.

"Another earthquake film in which California will be obliterated." That's what I thought when I discovered this film. I was not mistaken. It's just another disaster film, similar to so many others in its mistakes and virtues: it's stupid, but"Another earthquake film in which California will be obliterated." That's what I thought when I discovered this film. I was not mistaken. It's just another disaster film, similar to so many others in its mistakes and virtues: it's stupid, but it entertains wonderfully.

Against the backdrop of the famous "Big One", the devastating earthquake that hangs over California like a Damocles Sword, the film follows the efforts of a veteran of the Los Angeles Emergency Services to save her own daughter in San Francisco, in a story that is perhaps the most odd I have ever seen in a disaster film. He totally ignores his professional duty, selfishly choosing to save those who matter to him instead of presenting to his service and saving as many lives as possible. Of course, in the midst of all, he saves other people, if he were not the hero, but it was not what motivated him. And of course, the daughter proved to be totally capable of getting away with herself when everything seemed like the Apocalypse.

The cast is led by an actor I have never particularly liked, Dwayne Johnson, but who has risen considerably in my expectations since he proved to be more than just a muscle mount. He's not brilliant, but he has improved and choose more carefully his roles, gaining with that. Here, he does what he has to do and gets along reasonably well, but he does not establish any chemistry with Carla Gugino, who plays the ex-wife he still cares about, and who seems to be acting with a wall instead of a human actor. Paul Giamatti is a noble actor who is used to dignified characters and with a certain charisma, and he had everything he needs here. Alexandra Daddario, on the other hand, brings to the film a dose of charm and fun in the feminine, in addition to a beautiful curvaceous body.

Personally, I think that what draws the most attention in this film, in addition to the most comical moments that lighten the tension, is the massive dose of CGI where the film spent a notable slice of the budget. And California has never been more beautifully devastated! The CGI is wonderful and there are visually extraordinary scenes that make us think that only in a movie can someone escape by a hair for a wall falling the next instant. With the massive dose of destruction, so realistic that we can smell it, and the decent work of the cast, the film makes up for any defects with solid entertainment and acquires value for that very reason.

"San Andreas" borrows stale tropes from other disaster movies and mixes in bland charactersThere are a few moments of pretty glorious destruction here. Unfortunately everything else in the movie is just boring and completely predictable. "San Andreas" borrows stale tropes from other disaster movies and mixes in bland characters played by usually talented actors who just aren't trying here.

The family drama that is supposed to make us care about and root for these characters falls flat on it's face. We've seen this stuff before and know exactly how it's going to play out. Maybe it would be a little bit better if these characters didn't suck. They aren't fleshed out at all and they are given some cheesy lines. You can tell the actors know the material they have been given is generic and subpar, because they put forth no effort at all. It makes things harder to watch.

The movie's big moments of destruction can be quite grand and exciting. Some moments of shoddy CGI and special effects are noticeable, but sometimes the shear scope of the chaos onscreen is enough to make us overlook it. It's just a shame there isn't more of it. It takes a little bit for the destruction to start taking place, but once it does it really delivers and doesn't let up for a bit. Unfortunately once it does let up it never really gets that energy again. We are left following the plot which dips into moments of all too familiar melodrama with characters we just don't care about. The film really only has two moments of truly exciting set pieces and the rest just drags on.

It's meant to be an exciting, mayhem filled popcorn flick, but it doesn't deliver enough mayhem. When the city starts to crumble we are treated to exciting spectacle that really is a blast to watch. It's a shame the rest of the film that follows isn't nearly as good. Everything is boring from that point on and makes this a movie not worth recommending. You've seen this disaster movie before, and it was more exciting then. Maybe not as pretty, but certainly more fun.

I give "San Andreas" a 5.5/10.

A superb cast and entertaining destruction can't make up for the movie's likable, yet underwritten characters and preposterous plot, but it still works as a reasonably standard popcorn entertainment.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Opening with a clumsily executed car crash (dumb, careless - if not selfish - driver + unconvincing CGi = a weak opening), at least San Andreas didn't take long to set The Rock up as The Nicest And Most Understanding Guy Ever. No wonder his wife left him; short of singing with nuns or stroking kittens, The Rock's utter niceness was laid on too much.

Moving swiftly on - subtly hammering home product placement shots repeatedly throughout the film (I think... I should buy... Apple products...), and San Andreas turned in an averagely entertaining disaster film, albeit odd that, curiously, left this viewer feeling slightly underwhelmed in the epic disaster stakes. Oh, sure, there are some heat set pieces here and there - with an awful, awful lot of expositi- sorry, 'character development' to sit though.

The film's final act had me distractedly wondering what kind of kick-ass speedboat they'd been lucky enough to find - nothing, and I mean Nothing, could give its engine/blades Any difficulty as it went full pelt through an earthquake and tsunami ravaged city, with unimaginable debris everywhere - while The Rock continued his Most Amazing Superdad shtick to the end.

Ultimately, sure, San Andreas was entertaining, but despite the spectacle it underwhelms, ever so slightly shortchanging the audience. Throw in a little too much talk, one astoundingly lucky coincidence after another, overt product placement, and - sorry, guys - a couple of miscast British leads, and San Andreas doesn't make a particularly durable impression (at least 2012 knew it was pure silliness - its destruction of LA is more eye-popping than San Andreas). However, The Rock was as watchable as ever, and the daughter in the film was pretty great (a nice turn from the actress, and decent scripting, considering), with both doing a lot to boost the film's otherwise paper-thin characters.

Overall, San Andreas will leave you shaken, not stirred.

Fans of the genre will enjoy it for its adrenaline but we have such an unoriginal script that you should watch something else to avoid spending your money in something you've seen many times. We have a couple who reconnects, a villain with a creepy death, a hero that saves everyone without getting hurt even a little bit and some romantic scenes to make us moved with the script. In the end, of course, we have to see the flag of USA as usual. Love Dwayne Johnson and the rest of the cast is awesome but San Andreas is only worth it in case you really love action movies and couldn't care less about the story, only explosions, tsunamis and buildings falling. You search for this? Go for it. If you don't, go watch something else. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film had some amazing special effects and cinematography, and some pretty good performances from The Rock and Paul Giamatti, but that is about where the cinematic praise stops. The plot followed every single cliché in the book. I could predict what happened to each character when they were first introduced. Some of the things that happened in the film were physically impossible for a human to do and still live. The Rock passes by hundreds of people that he could have easily helped, but doesn't. That being said, this is still a very, very fun time at the movies. So if you want a movie that is Oscar-worthy, stay away, but if you want an awesome action popcorner, this is for you. Expand

When I saw " San Andreas " giving me the inevitable differences of good and bad.

The good news is that the special effects are very good , Dwayne Johnson an outstanding performance, the best of Dwayne Johnson is his perfomance of a superdad to the rescue of his daughter, especially Alexandra Daddario is very pretty, and, incredible recreation of the earthquake , and well destructive.

The downside is the end , I had to make comparisons of this film withthe from "2012 " to " 2012 " there was total destruction , the city of Los Angeles starting to pieces, great, instead " San Andreas " the land shall not be opened in Los Angeles and the development of the story is a little folly.

This is good and bad that I wanted to highlight

California is destroyed. Millions are dead. Thanks Obama.

All considered, San Andreas is what it’s supposed to be. Loud, dumb and visually spectacular. Without The Rock this movie is probably complete garbage. And even though the movie showed disregard to the laws of science, San Andreas is still 1,000,000% more believable than The Rock’s work on Fast & Furious.

You're not watching San Andreas because it's a "good" movie. You're watching it because you want to see The Rock punch an earthquake into submission. If you don't mind shutting your brain off for two hours, San Andreas is fine or whatever.

It very much follows in the usual pattern of disaster films, as far as there being the women (perhaps previously (in the past) regarded as 'damsels') in distress, the determined main male character who vows to save those dear to him and so on.

I can't say I'd ever thought I'd say this but one of the first criticisms that came to mind, as far as this film is concerned, was the over-use of CGI. It isn't a film featuring a disaster, its just about a constant visual disaster that goes 'all guns blazing', once it starts, with so much in the way of explosions, crumbling and toppling buildings and other such things that I felt myself thinking there's no way this could surely be anywhere near real. Now whether that is the case or not, I can't really say but I was very aware that I felt desensitised from what was going on visually, as it appeared so constant and perhaps over the top. For one thing, the main female character, Emma seemed incredibly lucky in not succumbing to the initial earthquake effects. I shant risk spoiling the film by revealing more plot details as such but I definitely felt that it didn't seem very likely, or realistic, that she was somehow able to do what she did. Equally, the main character, Raymond, also seemed to be somehow particularly nimble and able to pull off things which (call me a pedant or an unfair critic, perhaps in some regards I maybe am? but I'm just being honest here) I didn't feel, instinctively, were very credible. To be fair to the film, thinking of other similar films of recent times such as 2012, of course the plot isn't meant to be analysed down to the very last second but I didn't feel that the special effects and camerawork entirely made up for what I felt was very much a basic and perhaps rushed script.

Having said that, I did think that Dwayne Johnson was a good actor to have play the main character, Ray. He does relatively well playing the usual action man, guy to the rescue type role. He has featured in comedy films (such as in Get Smart and Tooth Fairy) but for the most part he's well known for roles in action films. Other cast members include Carla Gugino as Emma and Alexandra Daddario as their daughter, Blake. Paul Giamatti plays Dr. Laurence Hayes (a seismologist who was aware of the impending incidents), Ioan Gruffudd plays Daniel Riddick and Art Parkinson plays Ollie Taylor, a young boy who sparks up a conversation with Emma near the start of the film.

One thing I felt was pretty cheesy and made me cringe a little was the fact that early on its made clear the relationship between Ray and Emma is shaky at best, with a divorce seemingly being on the cards. The theme (if it counts as a theme?) of a disaster bringing home the idea of family being more important than most other things is, well I hope you'd agree, very much an old, tired one. I'm certainly not saying that there's no truth to it but I did feel it was a little cheesy and predictable. There were one or two other particular scenes which I felt seemed a bit too convenient or unlikely lucky, for want of another term. Normally I quite enjoy these sort of films, from a visual perspective and I don't deny that they can be quite engrossing and entertaining. I certainly wouldn't say this isn't at all entertaining and, as I say I realise its not a film to be overly analysed in detail but it just somehow didn't 'ring true' for me. I can only think that the plot wasn't quite developed enough, with not enough characterisation, as I'm not sure I did feel I was 100% bothered about the outcome to the main characters, as harsh as that may sound. Its pretty much a known 'thing' that if you don't care a great deal about the main characters and want them to do well, then the film isn't going to particularly great or certainly memorable. I feel it'd be unfair to say that this film (pardon the slight, earthquake related pun) falls down as far as being watchable and mildly entertaining is concerned - I think it felt a bit too sort of rushed, consisting of various cliches and thus being a bit too predictable.

Musical score wise, the music used wasn't especially memorable, other than one quite gripping scene involving people falling from the sky, which is accompanied by stringed instruments. The camerawork is quite good at showing their position as they fall through the sky, with the local surroundings shown at various angles and that sort of thing.

Content wise, there is only brief use of strong language but there is some potentially frightening scenes for young viewers. By this I mean there is a lot of blood, people with various injuries, some (inevitable) violence, although nothing too graphic or explicit. The general theme of impending doom is obviously one that may frighten or upset younger viewers. There are no sex scenes or full on nudity. Due to this, the film carries a 12 rating. I imagine most teens would be fine watching this.

I have always loved disaster movies. They are almost all terrible, but they are often on the leading edge of special effects. And I'm talking about all the way back to Irwin Allen's TOWERING INFERNO or even back to GODZILLA. As a kid, thoseI have always loved disaster movies. They are almost all terrible, but they are often on the leading edge of special effects. And I'm talking about all the way back to Irwin Allen's TOWERING INFERNO or even back to GODZILLA. As a kid, those movies blew me away with their awesome destructive power! In recent times, films like DEEP IMPACT or TWISTER breathed new life into the genre, featuring what are now pretty dated, but were once pretty advanced, effects. I enjoyed 2012, not for it's great script, but for it's outstanding scenes of global destruction (and Woody Harrelson's delightfully unhinged performance).

So I prepared for the same guilty-pleasures with SAN ANDREAS. But it let me down to some degree because the "non-destruction" scenes were particularly dumb and unbelievable. Bad script, bad characters, bad acting. Dwayne Johnson can be quite a charming actor and he seems on the surface to be well equipped for an undemanding lead role like this. He will never win an Oscar, but his physical presence and charm should have tided him over. But his part was SO painfully cliched and by-the-numbers that even The Rock crumbled under the weight of its high school level writing. It was as though a child had watched a bunch of disaster movies and was told to write the dialogue to be like all those. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that it felt computer-generated. No soul...just plot points to tick off. Estranged ex-wife and her new husband who is clearly doomed to die (yep, just put Carla Guggino in Amanda Peets' role from 2012). Attractive daughter in distress, causing Johnson to abandon his role as a search and rescue guy when the world most needs him? Check. Cardboard scientific characters will little purpose other than explaining to us the "science" of what is going on in a vain effort to lend credibility (thinking DAY AFTER TOMORROW here). Check. A "cute" kid who is spunky but still needs a bit of rescuing? Check. A romance developing out of nowhere when everyone ought to be focused on things like staying alive and the end of the world (thinking the POSEIDON remake). Check.

Add to that some truly dreadful performances by Guggino and Alexandra Daddario (as the daughter), along with embarrassing turns for Paul Giamatti (as the "scientist"...hope he got a good paycheck) and Archie Panjabi as "the TV reporter." Just not good.

Fortunately, the movie is still watchable due to its scenes of destruction. There is perhaps 20 minutes here of truly jaw-dropping special effects work as we watch major cities crumble to the ground in spectacular fashion. This is the stuff viewers like me come for. And SAN ANDREAS delivers. (I watched in 3D...the 3D is okay, but I don't think it adds so much that you should go out of your way to see it in that format.) The CG cities are convincingly rendered and more convincingly toppled. (Things get dicier near the end when Johnson and Guggino zip around on a speedboat through CG debris. They never quite look like they're really ON the water.) So I enjoyed those moments very much. They are just as rote and predictable as everything else...but as I said, I take guilty pleasure in these movies.

So, for me, it's 3 stars. If you DEMAND good scripts and acting from your disaster movies...keep looking. This is perhaps a one-star film for you. And if you have a higher tolerance for bad writing and acting, then this might even be a 4 or 5 star movie. So take my thoughts in their context. If I watch this movie again some day, I'll be skipping MANY scenes and just cutting to the chase of some great destruction!

Honestly i don't know what to say about this movie because it's so wrong in many level.

If you go to see this movie for just entertainment and CG you might be okay with it but for me this is probably the contender of the worst movie of this year (Taken 3 probably take win the title though)

Every single thing is super cliché and super repetitive you can just see the ending and plot twisted from miles away and you won't even feel exciting about those plot twisted either.

The plot is cliché , the characters is terrible , dialog is bad , some CG is good (like those tsunami scene in the trailer) but some are just terrible and looks fake and ultimately the movie make no sense in like every single way it's just dumb stupid movie that just doesn't try to be smart at all (and that's good in some way....)

Overall for pure entertainment San Andreas probably just super barely pass the gate but in the quality it failed so hard you just don't want to watch it again even it's free.

That has to also mean it's a good movie that doesn't completely insult the intelligence of everyone!
The critics that always use this worthless "but it's entertaining" second tier excuse when reviewing are stupid jackasses themselves. I find mindless action and solely spectacle in narrative movies a complete bore every time.

‘San Andreas’ follows the same narrative you’ve seen in every other disaster movie offering nothing new and featuring attempts at emotional depth that are so cringeworthy they make Michael Bay movies seem profound, but at least Bay has the good sense to spread some camp humour over his cheesy film toast.

The entire creative talent in this film seems to be focused in the visual effects department but no amount of action and spectacular visuals can gloss over the incredibly predictable narrative and sub-par performances, not to mention the surprisingly dull hour or more between massive action set pieces.

Add to this the fact that ‘San Andreas’ exists in a California where virtually everyone looks like an Abercrombie & Fitch model with only Paul Giamatti to redress the balance, plus a PG sensibility that means no graphic consequences of the devastation and that fact that you can predict what will and won’t happen to every character from the start, the result is a film that’s barely memorable for Californians and completely forgettable for the rest of the world.

The Bottom Line…
Visually stunning and epic in scale, ‘San Andreas’ is little more than a collection of action set-pieces with no entertainment value beyond, predictable and lacking any depth, mildly enjoyable and completely forgettable.
