Review of San Andreas

The film is earning a lot and a lot of people turning up to watch this one, but the reviews by critics and on online websites have come down hard on this one for the lack of great or proper plot and story, and I would agree with this objection. The brilliant action and the great depiction of the disaster that an earthquake is, followed by a tsunami in this case, was damaged and marred by plot that had so many holes that you couldn't even count. This film should never have been about one family to begin with, which would have been alright had it been about a common family stuck in the disaster, but here it revolved around a person who works for the rescue department. He is never shown to be in touch with his higher authorities, to be carrying orders, or to be helping people in the disaster. He is just shown to be casually flying his chopper in the air when he finally gets on with his job to rescue his wife. So it all disappointed given that they had the action to make it a great film.

I know it's just a film after all, but just merely the thought of such disasters and what everyone goes through, the running around to here and there... I remembered God Almighty after I was done with the film and had a chance to reflect upon it all once again.

The best bit was the scenes of the split/parted pieces of the earth. I am not the most educated person on such topics, or in general, although curious and a seeker of knowledge I am, but I knew that such a thing too can happen due to earthquakes, and not just that the building and houses come down, but still to watch it was mind- blowing, mind- blowing scenes they were.

So again, for the sake of some very good action, it remains a very watchable film. I thoroughly enjoyed it as a 3D experience.
