Review of San Andreas (2015) by Ronaldadams — 28 May 2015
Saw "San Andreas" in 3D last night. Wow, what a film! 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.
