Where to Watch Earthquake
- stuhannafordJanuary 17, 2026Misses the mark for a disaster movie. Lots of effects, most of them good for the time… a few not quite so good (see the elevator scene)… a few laws of physics not obeyed. The human aspect is the issue with though. Great cast, lots of intertwining stories… all about relationships you struggle to invest in. Some questionable acting, and some lazy, and at times embarrassing script lines all contribute to the wrong kind of disaster.
