      Audience Member Okay, it's a hokey television made disaster movie, hopelessly predictable but also very entertaining. I don't know why I like disaster films, perhaps it was because in my teen years movies like Airport, Earthquake, The Towering Inferno etc, were the big date movies. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Talk Talk Talk, shameful verbal exposition. More talk. Yackity yakkity yak. My Dinner With Andre The Geologist. Where are the propane explosions, airborne body parts, and nude bimbos? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie rocked!!!!!!Better than Earthquake (1974). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome!This movie was fantastic.This one was better than Earthquake 1974.Very,very great movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Grade B made for TV disaster epic, and I'm the only one who has apparently seen it. Awesome three hour flick of earthquakes and dead people. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member No captioning available, but this shows a concept of a big earthquake that might, MIGHT happen in Los Angeles.
