The guy who brought you the critically acclaimed Cats and
Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore brings you his first attempt at a big-budget
disaster film; further proving those Hollywood execs really know what they are doing, don't
they. In the plus category, this is a
very entertaining film; if you care not for things like scientific
plausibility, with epic, sometimes brutal special effects. But that is where all of the pluses end and the
9.5 scale minuses begin and continue until the last nonsensical aftershock. Poorly acted, overly predictable, with
ridiculously impossible action and survival sequences absolutely apropos for a Shakespearean thespian the likes of this
movie's headliner; Dwayne Johnson.
Please note the deep and intense tremors of sarcasm.
This film is a true disaster flick in regards to the sheer wake of
devastation left by its ridiculously
unbelievable script and stereotypical characters. If you are looking for a mindless cinematic
joy ride; this is your film. But doesn't that pretty
much sum up the majority of what Tinsel Town is spewing out these days. 2 out of 5 Kernels: with the lack of reality
all they needed were a couple of Graboids to show up and then we would really have a movie.
