I love this movie its New York whats not to love. Does anyone know where i can purchase hits movie please
There are many great disaster films these days, most recent would have been Day After Tomorrow but this film i had to admit, is amazing. I like disaster films too, especially Twister, Volcano and said film mentioned. Although our ending is a bit soppy with our family reunited after being trapped round the city in different aspects of New York day by day life, yet they walk away from the disaster with a better outlook of life, despite the fact the earthquake is still in great effect, everywhere being covered in glass, buildings and such. but other than that, a very thought out film, I'm gutted myself it is not out on DVD or on TV again, the good films always get the short end of the stick.
Earthquake in New York is an irregular film with a poor special effects but this film is salved by the presence of Melissa Sue Anderson, she is a great actress and she is perfect like Marilyn Blake. The movie had been better if Melissa had been the star. The TV-series, "Aftershock: Earthquake in New York" is better although Melissa don' t appear.
Boring disaster movie - in fact, completely out of time - about an earthquake in New York and the problems and perils which a group of people suffer in the process. A lame screenplay, full of cardboard performances and ridiculous special effects. Only Cinthia Gibb is a delight to see.
I give this a 3 (three) only because Cinthia is here but don't lose your time with this one. If you're an earthquake addict, see "Earthquake" instead. This last one is not a great movie too but compared to this one seems a Orson Wells autentic jewel.

I bought this movie because I expected good special effects. It looks like they had a very small budget for this one. Terrible special effects, to simulate an Earthquake the only move the camera, bad actors.
This movie is not worth it, even if you see it on TV.
