MegaFault

I rented it on Blu Ray, and it is a poor looking Blu Ray. I gave it a 1 and I didn't know that it was made for T.V. but then I suspected that it was when I saw how poor the special effects were. They did not even shake the camera manually (a technique that should hardly ever be used) but it was a type of fake digital camera shake. I agree with jmgalvan in that I would almost recommend it to watch in a Gilmore Girls kind of a way: Sit there and ridicule it. In that respect I found it entertaining, and I laughed a lot. The trouble is, it's an action-drama, and you are supposed to have the myriad of emotions that come with that genre. I love film, and I would much prefer to see a GOOD disaster movie.

It is beyond me how Britney, (8 Mile) who I think is a fine actress, with 6 films coming out, and the incredible Bruce Davison, (Short Cuts) with four films coming would ever say yes to this. They should fire their agents. Eric LaSalle, (E.R.) is another fine actor, but he hasn't done all that much since he left E.R. which is a shame, and it might explain why he took this role. I thought the acting was good, but with a good script and director, all three of them would have really knocked the walls down which is what I expected, and it was the reason that I rented it.

The special effects are the worst that I have seen since Buck Rogers, but......back then they had an excuse! LOL

Sorry I just saw this movie on Blu-ray DVD and found it so bad that I had to comment. Frankly I can't imagine who would invest their money in such a movie. Everything, from the phony special effects, to the plot line, to the characters, to their ongoing absurd childish dialogue, was far fetched and unbelievable.

From the start, which showed snow capped mountains at the WV Appalachian mining site, the viewer knew this movie was going to be unbelievable.

I really think this movie was test run by the movie industry to cut costs by having the writing, production and direction done by sixth graders as a class project.

Absolute gruesome! Extremely bad computer animation at all times, bad scenes, fire and fire and more fire and what the hack has Brittany Murphy to do in this stinker! Being a serious scientist in this movie is not her role at all. She probably felt that this movie is crap while filming it. Exploding toilets for no reason (maybe too much wind in the bowl) ... Yes, it was a mega fault that I watched this piece of art of a different kind. The constant 'Flash Gordon' style CGI is quite annoying as it is simply too much. The few good actors are somehow misplaced in this lengthy b-class movie. It seems they had access to plenty military equipment, planes, Mediforce helicopters and so on, but ti didn't make the movie any better. Don't waste your time!

There's really not much more that I can add to what the previous posters wrote.

The makers of this movie must have as their motto: "Quality, what's that?!"

If this movie were any more of a dog, it would shed!

Actually, it's kind of hard to get mad at something so "stupefyingly stupid" as this movie! (It looks like it was made by trolls.)

"Plan 9 From Outer Space", move over! A new worst movie joins you on the very worst movies list, meaning that at last there's a movie even lower than you!

If you liked "Crack In The World" with Dana Andrews, now you'll have something to compare it with!

There should be a negative score for film this bad. The writers have no idea what earthquakes are. They seem to think an earthquake is like a tear in fabric and if you can stay ahead of the rip you will be OK. Nonsense. Actress is so unprepared for the role she looks at her technical equipment like she's never seen it before. All the actors stand around uncomfortable knowing they have no lines. The failure is no ability to tell the truth. The writers know nothing about the underlying science of seismology and lied that they could write a story on the topic. No one on the project could tell the truth that the script was awful. The producers lied that they had a viable film. The nitwits at Syfy lie that they are able to develop or produce science fiction. At least they changed the spelling to spare the science fiction genre from guilt by association.

Work this poor is an affront to drama, to science, and to the audience.

Best line in the film: Because I'm holding a bottle of water, I'm more prepared for the next earthquake than most people. (sic) True.

Dumbest line in the first 30 minutes: (looking at a hole in the ground) "That was a 7 on the Richter scale." Total nonsense.

I turned it off.
