Review of San Andreas (2015) by Closeremperor16 — 02 Oct 2015
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).
