Review:

1. First of all, I want to say that I found the movie kinda realistic. Maybe it'ss because I am from Nepal. Its been a year since we faced a major strike of earthquake of 7.6 and 6.7 richter scale with few days of gap between them and hundreds of aftershocks which is continues even till now. So, we all in Nepal felt the destructive power of nature. It was a near death experience. So, watching the movie San Andreas was thriller experience for me.

2. 3-D version should be awesome since we did not get a chance to watch it in 3-D. But we know that most of you watched it in 3-D. That must have been an amazing experience.

3. Visual effects were awesome in the movie. Animation crew deserves a massive respect for the job they did. Turning green screen into collapsing building is definitely not an easy task. They did this quite amazingly.

4. Personally, I think the story could have been better. There were many amazing things they could have added that would made this movie even better. But, nevertheless, the movie was great.

5. But , Ray, being a rescue team "Chief" only rescued a girl at beginning of the movie and the rest of the movie he was just saving and searching for his family. So, it was somewhat not right.




6. Other than the story, The movie was fantastic. Acting, screenplay, action, editing, music and all the other part of the movie were awesome. We are not saying that the story was bad, but we expected something more than that.

7. Critics gave this movie really low rating than it deserved. IMDb gave this movie only 6.1 out of 10 where as other critics gave then less then 50%. I would say this movie should have at least 7. 

8. At last, we would like to recommend all of you to watch this movie. I am sure most of you have already watched the movie. For those who have not yet watched this movie, you are missing out something great. And Come On Guys it's "The Rock".

Well!! you guys know how it ends. Cheers!!
