good time waster
Added 7/11/2009
Clocking in at almost 3 hours, this film, originally televised on tv is an acceptable film that kinda make you hope for the worst, then get it over with.
The special effects are good, but at times the camera is constantly giving us too many close-ups to know what is going on. When the camera is recording a large-scale area, it looks obviously fake. Guess digital special effects have come a long way in just a few short years.
It's a good time waster tho. Character development is better than average for a Hallmark produced production.
At the low price, it does make sense to pay a few dollars to be entertained with the fact that New York will be hit with an earthquake.
Enjoy.

The aged cheese of all time
Added 4/17/2009
One of the craaappiest movies I have ever seen if not the craaappiest. Thats all that needs to be said here. If it were not so bad, I would actually take the time to name what makes it so bad. I would have to write a book about this one though.
The only reason it has one star is because zero stars was not an option.
Its beyond my understanding how anyone can give this a 5 star rating. This is the kind of stuff you see on tv and cant flip the channel fast enough away from. Rates just below the home shopping network.
This is my first review of a movie after purchasing dozens of movies for years from Amazon. This movie motivated me enough to take the time out and warn people. It was that bad.
The aged cheese of all time.

Pretty much what you'd expect
Added 8/31/2008
Okay, to be honest, the film's a bit of a snoozer. The acting is pretty much on par for these type of films, with the Russian taxi driver's accent particularly amusing. The special effects are mediocre and mostly limited to the first half. The second half is devoted to various uninteresting characters getting rescued or in the process of dying. Again, boring and nothing you haven't seen before or better, although the ridiculousness of Sharon Lawrence's character pseudo-rock climbing her way up a ruined school building to retrieve her son was unintentionally hilarious. This did not need to be a three-hour event, and when it's over your only emotion is relief that it wasn't any longer.

Excellent Flick
Added 3/1/2008
I love disaster flicks and this one did not disappoint. It had all the qualities I love about such movies: the person/people who puts money/ego ahead of people's safety dies, the hero gets the girl, and the hero goes back into the disaster area when everyone else is leaving.
