San Andreas was on TV, so I left it on as background noise while I did computer stuff, and fuck this is every bit as awful as I expected and worse. I though it would basically be like 2012, but I didn't realize it would literally just be 2012. It's like they just took that script, scribbled out "apocalypse" and wrote "earthquake" over it.
It starts off with some self absorbed chick who you think is going to crash because of her reckless driving, but then there's the swerve that she crashes because of the earthquake, and Rock comes to save her. But I already kind of want her to die because she's a terrible person and the roads are safer without her. But it's Rock as the big hero, so she has to get saved to show how amazing the Rock is. The CGI is absolutely terrible here.
Then the generic cliche Hollywood plot of him being divorced, with a kid. Then we have the new boyfriend, who of course is a terrible person because he's not the star, and that's supposed to make us be ok with him dying. Then despite the Rock being the hero who has saved a bazillion people, he ditches that to save his ex with a rescue helicopter that I'm pretty sure isn't his. You're a terrible rescue worker, pal. Again the CGI is pretty bad, and it's hard to believe there's any real threat.
Then later his helicopter crash lands ridiculously in and is leaking fuel, and they casually loot the store, don't bother to warn anyone else about the potential danger of a crashed leaking helicopter, and steal a truck, which is now ok, because someone else had stolen it first for looting (but worse looting than his own looting). Hollywood logic!
Then later on they parachute out of a plane and that plane probably crashes in the city somewhere and kills some people.
At this point I think they realize that the Rock isn't actually looking too heroic, so we have a scene where he tells a few idiots to get away from a falling building, because they were too dumb to move at all. And he carries an injured person across the road too. Hero status restored!
The boat riding over the tsunami is is so mind numbingly dumb that it managed to top everything else so far. And I can tell that at no point did the Rock have to leave the safety of a green screen studio in that boat. The whole thing looks like ass.
No mention of the new boyfriend at the end, or most of the rest of the movie, because he doesn't matter now, so I guess she didn't like him that much. And it appears the cliche scientist character and the rest of the characters served nothing more than some weak unnecessary exposition, because they didn't really connect much with the story.
tl;dr - This movie is everything that's wrong with Hollywood, and if you paid to see this, you're part of the problem. 0/10
