Everything about this is so clichéd and simply ludicrous it’s not even worth watching on a plane. It’s another drivel featuring Dwayne Johnson as another stolid, banal hero.

I found “San Andreas” to be entertaining in its own cheesy, summer blockbustery way.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022

While its entire reason for being is to supply a bankable, familiar product that will deliver extensive returns, we can feel safe in the knowledge that a movie like San Andreas will not test our limits and will quickly disappear from our thoughts.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 21, 2022

San Andreas is a mixed landscape unfortunately more shaky than not.

One can't exactly hate a film that delivers all the empty sound-and-fury stimuli it promises, but no matter the expense and excess, it still all adds up to just a glut of expensive... emptiness.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 8, 2021

Peyton's panoramas of crumbling CGI skyscrapers are spectacular but repetitive, and the script by Carlton Cuse (Lost) is uneven and cheesy.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 14, 2021

San Andreas plays like a greatest hits package of action movies from the past quarter-century.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 20, 2021

I hoped the ground would open up and gobble up whole the movie. What a disaster.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 3, 2021

There's not a lot to hold onto in San Andreas. It ticks the boxes of a disaster film, but rarely, if ever, asks the audience to do anything other than ooh and ahh at its effects.

Unfolds exactly like a Roland Emmerich disaster movie, which means the screen is awash with computer-enhanced destruction of epic proportions.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 4, 2020

This is the type of natural disaster for which Westboro Baptist Church and Pat Robertson would surely blame those silly Californian liberals.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 21, 2020

I was pleasantly surprised. This is a highly entertaining disaster film. It's a scary, pulse-pounding thrill ride...also emotional without getting overly schmaltzy, which is difficult for a lot of movies to accomplish, let alone an action film.

Sheer, utter absurdity on every level.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 5, 2020

If I called San Andreas "a huge disaster." director Brad Peyton would probably take it as a compliment. It's not a compliment.

| Jan 10, 2020

Screenwriter Carlton Cuse delivers an interesting script, but somewhere in the passing of the torch to director Brad Peyton, how-much-CGI-can-we-use clearly became the overriding production mantra which then detracted from the raw human drama and emotion.

| Dec 8, 2019

It's not dumb often enough. Combine that with a lead character who abandons his appointed life-saving duties at the precise moment he's most needed, and you have an uneven flick that flirts with disaster more than embraces it.

| Original Score: C | Jul 30, 2019

San Andreas falls into the disaster porn trap of giving us only a few characters to follow while they're otherwise surrounded by hordes of screaming destruction fodder.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 20, 2019

San Andreas is a popcorn munching, soda-pop slurping feast of thrilling silliness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2019

It feels stale and the sideplots aren't very engaging.

| Original Score: D | Apr 26, 2019

So schematic and simplistic in its dramatic framework as it is fantastic and amazing in its graphic and physical embodiment of the devastating effects of the cataclysm. [Full Review in Spanish]
