Planetquake

Firstly, the acting is fine. They just were given a terrible script and it's hard to do much with that. If you're in the right mood, the comedic value of every most unlikely event happening in a way that defies everything science has ever taught us might be make it worthwhile.

The reality is, it feels like someone went into a class of 5 year olds and got stories about eathequakes and mashed them together for this movie. Personally, I was expecting a movie about earthquakes to have some understanding of the topic. Maybe I'm missing something!?

Animations are terrible but I quite like bad attempts that fit the theme or narrative. There just wasn't really any narrative, more a compilation of serious or disaster scenes that felt like it was made from whatever B roll the studio could pull together whether it made sense or not.

I guesw there's a place for these movies, it's just not when you want a movie that makes sense.

At the time of this review this movie had a 6.9 rating. I took my chances and ordered it for $6.99 on our pay per view platform to enjoy with my teenage son for movie night. One good thing that came out of this movie was the bonding that my son and I had while laughing at how bad this movie was. It really is a shame because it could've been great with better execution. The storyline felt rushed, lacked character development, very unrealistic scenarios, and casting and acting were at times so bad it was embarrassing. I have spent $7 on worse movies and at least the plot itself was enjoyable. I definitely would recommend waiting until this is out in a streaming platform vs paying to see this movie individually.

I understand not having a phone on while in air but there's earthquakes, like either of you could die. I like just blatant earth ending stuff but I don't care for any of these people I don't know anything about them either. Everyone seems like they are reading the script for how calm they are.

"no star wars was a weapon imitative in the 80s" and the other dude just sort of shakes his head. What even are these conversations.

I am starting to think Adam Sandler would appear in this movie. They kept mentioning the knock-on effect which they never really fully explain. The reason other movies are good that have the same premise is because they have slow down parts for the story. But the parts for the story are only like 5 minutes long. Also we see the same helicopters in multiple scenes with minor movements between the clips.

Acting was mostly fine, writing was weak, primarily in the area of "science", which was atrocious.

The characters were believable, for the most part. Having a girl (Sophie) in charge of helping on the airplane was a joke.

The lasers in space, from a far away orbit, was so unrealistic as to make one cry. The airplane crash-landing was catastrophic, and few (if anyone) would have survived. Moving tectonic plates -- gimme a break. Earthquake simulations were simplistic. Buildings fell like CGI from the 1980s. Big ocean waves hitting the coast -- ridiculous.

Some of it wasn't horrible, but don't waste your time.

This movie is so terrible it's actually funny. If you have a group of friends who want to drink or smoke you'll thoroughly enjoy laughing for quite a while. It's as if they intended for the movie to be terrible for comedic effect. I was surprised to see no comedy label. It might go down in history as a cult classic for worst sci-fi film ever or will be forgotten forever.

I would suggest not watching this alone. It's too painful. It's funny but it's best enjoyed with friends at a gathering, hangout, party, etc. I saw how bad it was in the first 60 seconds I continued to watch out of morbid curiosity. The acting isn't that bad but everything else is like they consulted an expert that turned out to be a crazy conspiracy theorist with an understanding of science only the church or social media could teach.
