In San Andreas, California is experiencing a

history. Dwayne Johnson plays Ray Gaines, a helicopter rescue pilot for the Los
Angeles Fire Department, who is trying to find his daughter, Blake (Alexandra
Daddario), who is in San Francisco amidst the chaos. Ray's estranged wife,
Emma, is forced to turn to Ray for help, as he is her last resort. Together
they journey to save their daughter.
Movie Reviews:
It's a disaster movie guys, not Shakespeare! Can
you hear me?
Yes, it's full clichis. The storyline is simple.
But.... Tell me one disaster flick that is not full of clichis and has a decent
storyline. In this regard this movie is second to none. Who's looking for a
Fight Club or a Donnie Darko here? It's pure entertainment. And, it's truly
great in it's own category and genre. I'm telling you that as a European guy
who's pretty highly educated, visits real, brick and mortar theaters often and
watches movies with intricate plots. Dwayne's character implies something our
society as a whole has already lost: real respect for women from the bottom of
his heart. The CGI is just perfect, the cutting is absolutely professional, and
if Deep Impact received such a critical acclaim from professional reviewers,
this movie deserves more. Much more.
