    StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

    2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
    Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
    Skyblue90125 For some reason 10.5 (2004) isn't available in my location. What's that about?I watched this movie many years ago. It's so bad that it turned out to be good. Funny in an unintended way. Funny as in ha ha and funny as in strange.If you watch this movie, follow the blue folder. It has a bigger part than any of the actors.
    fly_usa_jets The acting was bad and way over the top, but not funny enough to become a cult classic. Basically, this film was just a waste of electricity; to make and to watch.Why Hollywood continues to think that action/disaster films should contain long, drawn-out, personal stories about love, romance, and a variety of "internal-demons" is beyond me. Most people I know DO NOT go to disaster/action films to see that crap. We do go see ACTION AND DISASTER! This film, and part two, could have been chopped down to 30 minutes of interesting footage of things blowing-up, flooding, and falling into holes. The rest was complete gibberish and insulted my ears and my sensibilities. I get sci-fi fantasy; the general concept was not offending ... in fact, it is/was interesting and why I decided to watch this horrible piece of garbage. When will directors/producers/writers get that they can take us for a ride, so long as they give us something interesting to look at along the way and not bore us with dialog and plots that have nothing to do with the story at hand. I don't give a damn about family conflict and lost loves or someone "finding themselves" while cleaning the wounds of a fallen old lady... give it a rest! That's what Oxygen and Lifetime are for! I want to see things action and it only mildly has to make sense. This is FANTASY! Stop bring real-life drama into the picture.
    MartianOctocretr5 Gets a couple of points for the laugh-at-it value.It picks up a few minutes after the end of the first installment. A major earthquake has just annihilated part of southern California, clear out to Barstow, with millions of casualties. We see some guys in Vegas, only 150 miles from Barstow, who would have certainly felt such an immense quake; and witnessed news coverage of it. What are they doing? Preparing for a possible danger to Vegas? Mourning the victims of the disaster? No, they're playing poker. The father of the heroine in both movies is winning, so that must be why he's not concerned with his daughter's fate much.That's only the beginning. We see President Bo Bridges, still looking like he's suffering stomach wall spasms (like in the first movie). The scientist girl goes to discover more seismic problems are coming. Then an inconsiderate quake interrupts her dad's poker game. This opens the obligatory Poseidon Adventure rip off sequence, complete with all the disaster movie trimmings: arguing, wrecked staircases, aftershocks at just the wrong moment, panicky person gets killed, one of the rescuers is related to one of the fleeing survivors, etc.Then the scientists watch as a major fault cuts across the heartland. Good special effects here, but the story line remains ludicrous. What's right in the way of the fault? A nuke power plant, what else. And so it goes.Outrageous, but fun.
    knighthawk88233 This movie by far had the worst camera work I have ever seen. Every time someone would talk the camera rapidly would have to zoom in closely on the person's face almost to their nostrils to emphasize rising action or suspense. The camera work finally got so annoying I had to turn the movie off and watch something else. As for the special effects in this movie, I can understand the fact that they didn't have millions to spend on blowing stuff up, so the little HO scale model of the Golden Gate Bridge made it's point, but was almost laughable to see a movie made in the past few years still use the 1940's style special effects. In my opinion this movie could have been much better had it not been for the annoying camera work, and over acting played by the actors/actresses. In the scene of where the Ford Explorer gets swallowed up by the loose ground, the effects were so phony and "superman-ish" they should have just super imposed Lois Lane's head for the little girl's and just cropped out that scene of Superman and placed it in this 10.5 piece of crap.
