I'm always excited to see a disaster film, as this would mean lots of running, several destructions, non-stop action - without thinking too much. I remember many years ago when my favorites were The Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure, and Earthquake.
Now comes SAN ANDREAS, about the fault line that could trigger a massive earthquake all across the state of California.
Dwayne Johnson plays a Los Angeles Fire Dept. helicopter pilot who tries to rescue his estranged wife ( Carla Gugino ) and his daughter ( Alexandra Daddario ). Johnson flies, crashes, and swims into all sorts of death-defying situations just like a superhero. This is his film through and through.
Director Brad Peyton presented some of the best CGIs you'll ever see onscreen. There isn't a shortage of eye-popping action. And watching it on 4DX Cinema (at BGC High Street) makes it more realistic as you can feel all the tremors of an earthquake. Even the strong winds during the helicopter rides. I was shaking literally on my seat. It's like being inside the movie !
This is exactly what a disaster film should be ! Enjoy the wild ride !
