The amount of suckage from that earthquake movie is waaaaaay past 10.5 on the Suck-O-Meter. yeah, I was expecting it to be bad..but how bad? This bad: they show a scene of a tv broadcast and the crawl on the bottom of the news screen says that “marshal law” is in effect. Hmmm..think maybe they meant martial law?
How can you live in a place like California, the terrestrial equivalent of Jell-O, and not have at least three ways out of the state mapped off? Or have your emergency gear ready to go on a moments notice? Take the freeway? Its LA for cryin’ out loud, traffic is a mess even on a good day…add a couple million panicked motorists and all you have is a parking lot.
Well, maybe “Day After Tomorrow” will be more entertaining.
Biggest amusement for me: waiting for Fred Ward to tell ‘the President’ that the source of the tremors is graboid activity. Paging Burt Gummer, paging Burt Gummer…
Oh, and someone get Kim Delaney some acting lessons huh?
Maybe they meant the TV show “Marshal Law” with Sammo Hung. Or maybe the *character* of Sammo Law was in effect, causing the earthquakes with his heavy-man kung-fu.
That movie was so educational. I didn’t know that, after the San Andreas goes, the map of California will look like you drew a big fat circle around LA in Photoshop. And yet, somehow, all the survivors in Barstow could see onto LA Island across a waterway that couldn’t have been less than 50 miles wide.
If it weren’t for the government, California might be a nice place to live. But not in the big coastal cities. Unless you have a helipad in the backyard.
10.5?
just another movie wastland to entertain the mindless zombies of Amerika, comrade. or at least portrayed the government in “true life” fashion. love to someday compare this movie with the real event someday, soon? ah, back to the salt mines of reality. Wildflower
