Wanted to watch a brainless disaster movie and wasn't disappointed.

San Andreas received a bit more positive reviews than past disaster movies and therefore led me to believe this might be one of the extremely rare disaster movies that had a decent story and believability factor.

Man was I wrong.

While very entertaining the story is nonexistent and totally unbelievable. The Rock goes from professional helicopter search and rescue pilot, to airplane pilot, to skydiver, to rescue boat captain, to paramedic, to rebuilder.

SPOILERS:

Best cheesy one liner: While The Rock and his ex-wife are flying over a completely destroyed San Francisco they suddenly realize they can't land the plane anywhere. The Rock calmly puts the plane on autopilot and finds one parachute. He straps his ex-wife to himself and tells her that they are going to skydive down to the one place they can safely land - AT&T Park (San Francisco Giants).

They jump out of the plane without any regard where the place might crash and they literally land on 2nd base in AT&T Park...a perfect landing.

The Rock looks at his ex-wife and says, "It's been a long time since I got you to 2nd base."

Smiles abound!

What an awful, awful, movie. It was Sharknado bad. I mean it was so bad, that it was funny. The absurdity of the entire thing made it to where you couldnt help but laugh.

If you go into the movie with the mindset that this is a film on the level with any Syfy Channel made for TV movie, then you should enjoy it.


I mean this movie grossed almost a half of billion dollars worldwide

As an experienced boat captain, I couldn't stop laughing at the fact that they were driving around in a boat and somehow not hitting every piece of debris that was floating around. IRL, that motor and hull would have been ripped apart with the quickness.

You are worried about that when none of the geology made sense either?
