Rating: 8 out of 10, It’s your typical
summer popcorn disaster opus with the Rock rescuing everyone in sight as
California is rocked by the mother of all earthquakes and tidal waves. Film
technology has progressed to the point that the disaster scenes are all too
realistic, especially when my daughter lives in L.A. You have to park your
sensibility at the door for this type disaster flick which delivers on all
expected fronts although the Rock shouldn’t waste so much time trying to put
his marriage back together as skyscrapers are falling around him. One “message”
from the film seemed to be that survival is predicated on ample cleavage, which
Carla Gugino and Alexandra Daddario amply deliver. So a lot of scary escapist
fun as long as you don't go in expecting Shakespeare.
MVP: Daddario and her gravity defying
tank top
