Its a good engaging watch



You may look forward to:

• Dwayne Johnson is the lead undoubtedly. His presence alone makes a huge difference :)
• Alexandra Daddario otherwise is the actual lead. She plays the role of a pretty girl with very smart presence of mind
• Catastrophic elements are presented in a very life like magnitude. Brad Peyton does a very good job in keeping the audience engaged with one after another event in the movie. This one quake which just doesn't end throughout. More than just the calamity, the movie has a story which revolves around this one family with smart kids :)
• Carla Gugino, Hugo Johnstone-Burt and Art Parkinson, have very strong supporting roles
• Ioan Gruffudd,Paul Giamatti and Archie Panjabi as the rest of the cast, all of them have very well defined roles. None of them are wasted
• My favorite scene however is the very first scene of the movie, some breath taking action scenes

What you can sleep over:

Watching it in 3D is strictly OK, doesn't make too much of any difference


The dampeners you should be aware of:

Small bits of flaws here and there, things that are a little far from practicality. For example, steering the boat through debris and not getting stuck even once, a little too difficult to digest. But nevertheless, they dont dampen the entertaining factor of the movie




My Rating: 3.5/5
