Plot
Fracking (defined by the Oxford definition by Google: "the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc. so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas") has been causing stress on the tectonic plates near Los Angeles, California. Supposedly, the stress of the fracking has caused minor earthquakes around the area and, if people don't do something about it soon, the small earthquakes will combined into "THE big earthquake" (a 10.0 on the Richter scale) and will destroy all of Los Angeles. There is no time to warn everyone to evacuate! How can the characters stop the 10.0 from coming? How can everyone survive? And how can the main character Jack find his daughter in all of the chaos?

Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute
waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of
something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but
could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly
amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all
around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
2.5/5 - I was not impressed with this movie when I watched it in August of 2019. The plot line, the lack of character development, the scattered scientific reasons, and the short "yup, I guess we did it but let's just walk away" ending just did not sit well with me. Sure, I get that you want to save your daughter but it seemed like he is just going out to find her because he didn't get the time with her that he wanted (because she decided at the beginning of the movie to go out with some friends for camping and sex). The connection between him and his wife (soon to be ex?) and their daughter was so separated already and it never was emotionally fixed with this movie; it was, above all, a fight for survival. And when they do go to "stop" the 10.0 earthquake, there is not a time where they are testing or checking. They just do the thing (with someone sacrificing himself after he had been a complete corporate dick fracking for more $) and "we're good".
In my honest opinion, this movie really wasn't worth it. We kept watching because we thought it would get better but it just never did. I don't really recommend it but I do give it better than a 0/5 or 1/5 because it did hold the attention, though it was terrible.
Anyways, that's my movie review. Thanks for reading. More reviews are to come eventually so keep an eye out.
