Critics Consensus

San Andreas has a great cast and outstanding special effects, but amidst all the senses-shattering destruction, the movie's characters and plot prove less than structurally sound.

Fun movie that came out during the rise of “The Rock” before he was in every action movie in theaters. By no means is this a phenomenal movie but it’s a movie I can rewatch every once in a while. I’d recommend it to anyone just looking to watch a no-hassle movie with a feel good ending. Kind of like every other geological catastrophe movie (Geostorm, The Day Before Tomorrow, etc.). You could definitely do worse when it comes to movies so try it out.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I found this movie to be rather boring and predictable. I have it 3 stars because of the cast. It is not a movie I would watch again or even recommend unless you just want to kill sometime.

Rock vs earthquake. Rock in helicopter rescue. Rock vs. falling buildings. Rock vs. tidal wave. Rock vs. fie. Rock vs everything what more could you want? If you don't love this movie you need treatment for low testosterone. Rock On! Long live Rock!!!!!

This is a film that is only as fun as the people you watch it with. If they actually buy the nonsense that's on the screen, it's a total bore. If they're willing to make fun of it as much as you are, it's worth the time.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

This adrenaline-pumping movie turns a nightmare into big screen reality as it takes the disaster film genre to a whole new level.

Baltimore Magazine

All the moving parts are expertly juggled by director Brad Peyton and, yes, the special effects are impressive. But the disaster stuff is laid on way too thick.

Rated: 2/4

It's enormously entertaining, thanks to the undeniable charisma of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and the wanton CGI destruction of all of the West Coast's greatest landmarks (in 3-D, no less).

FlixChatter Film Blog

Everything about this is so clichéd and simply ludicrous it’s not even worth watching on a plane. It’s another drivel featuring Dwayne Johnson as another stolid, banal hero.

Rated: 1.5/5

I found “San Andreas” to be entertaining in its own cheesy, summer blockbustery way.

Deep Focus Review

While its entire reason for being is to supply a bankable, familiar product that will deliver extensive returns, we can feel safe in the knowledge that a movie like San Andreas will not test our limits and will quickly disappear from our thoughts.
