pepspotbib Bad Bad Bad pretty much sums up this film. Bad script, bad acting, bad dialogue, bad (NO!) special effects. (Special effects basically consist of what looks like stock footage from the 1970s and a few shots of half-destroyed buildings) It's suppose to be a disaster movie, and boy is it, but not in the way it was intended! How did this get funded? The lead actress looks surprisingly like Mariska Hargitay, but clearly isn't destined for stardom. Says her lines like it's the 1st week of rehearsal. You won't care if any of these people live or die. There is zero sense of urgency for a town and cast about to suffer a level "12" Earthquake! (Seriously? Anyone who paid the least attention in school knows the Richter Scale only goes to ten! Guess they couldn't afford a science consultant..) We kept watching it just to make fun of it! "Oh dear, we must get downtown to rescue so-and-so! But let's not drive down these empty roads over the speed limit!" Clichés abound, from the "wrong side of the tracks" black person to the "rebellious stepdaughter" to the idiotic situations. "Oh dear, we can't possibly evade these two guards by ducking around some cars, let's use these conveniently placed unlocked TUNNELS while the earth is shaking!" I like a good mindless disaster movie, but there's nothing "good" about this flick!

Paul Magne Haakonsen Of course The Asylum would have to come up with their own rendering of the 2015 "San Andreas" movie, and thus enters "San Andreas Quake". You already know what you are in for here as soon as you see the logo of The Asylum on the screen. And you know that chances of this movie being a great movie is slim to none.But still, I decided to stick with "San Andreas Quake" and watch it to the end. And having done that now, I can say that it was honestly not as bad as I had initially thought it would turn out. But it is far from being a masterpiece, and it most definitely offers no competition to "San Andreas" which is just in a whole different league.The storyline in "San Andreas Quake", to those unfamiliar with the plot of "San Andreas", is about a discredited seismologist whom has invented a way of measuring earthquakes before they happen, an effective warning system indeed. But when she predicts a 12.7 earthquake to strike Los Angeles, no one takes her claim seriously. Left to her own devices, the races against time in a desperate attempt to get her family to safety before an earthquake of biblical proportions destroys all of Los Angeles.Sure, the storyline was adequate, but as always with The Asylum it is just a shameless rip off of another big blockbuster. And as such, then it is not very inventive or original, and if you have seen the movie that they are imitating, then you have no reason to watch this.The acting in "San Andreas Quake" was alright, and people were doing good enough jobs with their given roles and characters. They were just struggling an uphill battle against a very weak storyline and facing the fact that this was done much better in another movie.As with most movies that come from The Asylum, then the effects are not overly impressive, and were questionable in many cases. The CGI effects were not realistic, and they didn't really give off the impression that this natural disaster was of 12.7 magnitude.It is just another generic disaster movie, and while it is watchable for a single time, then it hardly offers anything worthwhile remembering. "San Andreas Quake" is not a movie that you will watch more than a single time, if you do decide to sit down and actually watch this generic disaster movie.

Michael Golden Contains spoilers!! This movie is a perfect candidate for Mystery Science Theater. Watched it to kill time while I did other things but found myself compelled to watch the terribleness of this movie. I actually thought Sharknado was a good laugh, and went into this one hoping for the same, but, WOW, what a junk pile.I half expected a chopper to appear at the end with a guy waving a baby around to get their attention, but it ended so much better. The dog was a perfect slap in the face to the viewer and I applaud the creators for being so daring.It's a good giggle but you'll have more fun picking out all the continuity errors and hell, just making up your own jokes.

Carlos Ignacio Arango Yes, justice is served. That's what happens when you have a friend who has all the movies in his pc cause he has a 3 tera drive. So I spend a night in his apartment and he told me: "if you are bored just look for a movie in my pc". You guessed it, I chose San Andreas, Quake. So.. what is the punishment for a guy who watches downloaded movies? You guessed it again! Make him watch San Andreas Quake! I'm guilty, your honor but please for the rest of my filthy years please don't ever let me watch something as mediocre again. I promise I will stay away from torrents forever. Yes, your honor, I will be happy to be in community service forever if you bring these people to trial. It ain't possible to find worse actors, worse special effects, worse dialog, worst scenes and worse editing elsewhere. Their names should be vanished from history and every single evidence that this movie was ever shot should be incinerated and the ashes sent to... starting with my review. Addendum: At last there's a movie replacig Ed Wood's Plan 9 from outer space, voted worse movie of all times.
