Today I’ve just seen the film, “San Andreas”, the film about the Earthquake and here is my review:

Plot/Synopsis: In the aftermath of a massive earthquake in California, a rescue-chopper pilot makes a dangerous journey across the state in order to rescue his daughter.

I love movies about natural disasters but most of them were pretty bad and silly. Finally, we get a natural disaster movie about Earthquakes that is really great! Yeah, I was pretty impressed with the film, “San Andreas” starring the Rock. Some people may view this movie as a typical action flick like all the others but not really. The film is more than that. I thought the movie wanted to tell you a serious story. A story that could happen in real life. Some may think that an Earthquake won’t be able to wreck an entire city but yes it can. Earthquakes wrecked cities in the past before in real life. It doesn’t happen very often but it has happened before.

As far as the movie goes, some may say this movie has no plot but they are definitely wrong. I viewed this movie as them given you a safety lesson. They wanted to show you what to do during an Earthquake to protect yourself and to help others in danger. That’s pretty much the goal with the movie the way I saw it. The movie was more than special effects and action scenes… I think the film wanted to save lives in real life in case a huge earthquake ever happened like that again in the future, ya know? Yes, a huge earthquake can happen again. It can happen again anytime ’cause Mother Nature is unpredictable… she does what she wants to the Earth.

Anyway, yes, the action scenes were a blast to watch and a thrill ride. The action scenes were also pretty intense and kind of frightening. Of course, the special effects and cinematography was the most impressive. They did a great job with the CGI in this movie. Dwayne’s acting is improving in every film he does as I thought he did a really good job in this role, I was impressed with him too. Plus, Paul Giamatti is the shit!

This was a very good film surprisingly. I really liked it a lot!

I’ll give “San Andreas” a score of 4 out of 5 as in “Good”.
