San Andreas

San Andreas

Action, Drama, Thriller

In the aftermath of a massive earthquake in California, a rescue-chopper pilot makes a dangerous journey across the state in order to rescue his estranged daughter.


The critical consensus

If you crave Emmerich-esque disaster-porn with a mega body count, there’s plenty here to OMG at. But when it comes to character depth or plotting, San Andreas is a sadly familiar wasteland.

Less a Rock-buster than a quake’n’bake reheat of post-Emmerich basics. The cast’s likeable work falls right through the script holes.

**(*)(*)(*)Kevin Harley, Total Film, 27/05/2015

Guilty pleasure disaster movie boasts thrills aplenty and a great hero in Dwayne Johnson.

****(*)Angie Errigo, Empire Online, 28/05/2015

This spectacularly silly film about a monster Californian earthquake recalls the glory days of 1970s disaster films.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 28/05/2015

As a helter skelter, fairground ride, San Andreas is often exhilarating but the fault lines in its screenplay become more and more apparent. Peyton is trying to make a rousing action film about subject matter ultimately just too grim to work as escapist summer fare.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 29/05/2015

Verdict: Decent disaster movie.

***(*)(*)Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 29/05/2015

The cheesy San Andreas manages to be both way too much and not nearly enough.

**(*)(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 29/05/2015

There are faults aplenty as Dwayne Johnson battles CGI apocalypse in this spectacular but mindless old-school disaster movie.
