Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Think of this movie as every disaster movie rolled into one. I enjoyed San Andreas a lot and they certainly managed to cram almost every survival scenario into one movie. When the movie started I thought it would be insanely cheesy with some of the lines Dwayne Johnson was saying, but luckily it got much better. Don't get me wrong, there were certainly cheesy parts (certain romances, and cliches) but when you see the first 5 minutes you'll know what I mean about expecting it to be way cheesier. The movie is similar The Day After Tomorrow in that it's about one group's Journey and another's survival. Without giving anything away it focuses on two separate groups of people trying to get to eachother, however unlike most other disaster movies the main character (who is extremely likeable) is someone who is adequately trained and equipped to handle the situation, not the fish out of water that most disaster movies like to turn into the survival experts by the end of the film. This at least makes for a more believable plot and one heck of a fun ride. In 2015 we expect great visuals and CGI, San Andreas does not disappoint, there were several points during the movie that I was focusing on the CGI to see it's quality and I was impressed. Hollywood's big budget disaster movies get better and better at destroying our cities with every iteration, San Andreas falls right in line, the visuals and accompanying audio are truly spectacular. I highly recommend you see San Andreas if you like disaster movies, once the action gets started there are very few slow points, at only two hours long the movie does not feel drawn out - you won't be bored by the end of it. Watch it with big sound and a big screen if you can. Hope you enjoyed my review! Wish I could be more specific but I don't want to ruin any of the (albeit somewhat predictable) plot.
