This movie was awesome! I saw it in theatres, so i'm not sure how different it would be on DVD, but I loved it. The visual effects were mesmerizing and life like, story line was intense and heartfelt. One of my favorites.
Not particularly thrilled with this movie...too predictable and several unrealistic scenes. Poor characterization of individuals in such intense situations, e.g. Calmly walking along while the world around them is upside down or looking into each other's eyes and embracing when the daughter is lost and possibly not alive. Action is overdone.
Saw this movie twice - once in theatres and once at the drive in and loved it both times! Action packed, amazing effects and great story line! One of the best movies of the summer!
San Andreas is what you get by stringing one lame cliché after another, horrible acting and a ridiculous script. It's just bearable enough to watch it till the end, but frankly, it sucks. The effects are equally horrible. For example, while a quake tears a skyscraper apart, all of the wine bottles in the bar in the background are still standing??? This movie is an insult to one's intelligence... considering one actually has any. And judging by the high ratings, there's a lot of dumb people seeing this movie. The only moment of satisfaction was seeing the Hollywood sign crumble. Maybe that scene is trying to tell us something.
One of the best done action movies I've seen in a long time! Even though I saw it in 2D the cinematography was so excellent it almost seemed like 3D (I will see it again! The next time in 3D for sure!).
A complete and utter waste of time.
This is the movie that is worth for us to spend the extra dollars to see the 3D. Lot of actions and the story is base on something that the scientists are always talking about which will happen sooner of later on the western coast of USA near California. It will be very scary for people who are living in LA or San Francisco to watch this movie.
The special effects are so real, don't know how they can make it. The water in the swimming pool was jumping up and down when the lady was waiting for someone to rescue her on the top of the roof. This is if fact a well made great movie. Love to see it again with my family because it is so entertaining. Good Job!
Great movie with non-stop action. The Rock is really good in this movie.
The hype reminds me of the movie Into the storm. Special effects that are ok and a lame stupid story that's trying so hard to get you to feel for the characters that it makes you want to walk out. Skip this one which should have gone straight to DVD!
