A scientist discovers ways to predict earthquakes just a tad too late. Looks like we are in for it. We get to watch as a father tries to save his family as California slides off into the ocean.
Dunt-dunt, dunt-dunt, Dunta-dun-dun.
Before you watch this, you know it is a standard disaster movie like “Volcano” (1997). Most of the scenarios were picked up and dropped here. It is a wonder they did not borrow any footage. The then-bevy of disaster-oriented actors is replaced with today’s bevy, including Dwayne Johnson as the tragic hero dad.
There is one nice twist: the daughter is smart instead of a cowering screamer. The estranged wife turns out not to be such a snot as in most disasters. The potential stepdad turns out to be someone who would kick your little dog. So, I must say they did a better job of tweaking the characters than in most disaster movies.
