  • Subtitles section
  • San Andreas stars The Rock, and it's 2015's The Day After Tomorrow, Armageddon, Deep Impact, 2012.
  • This is probably going to be the fastest plot synopsis I've ever given in a movie.
  • The San Andreas Fault is splitting.
  • Earthquakes, disasters, buildings, they fall.
  • The Rock, he rescues people.
  • End of plot.
  • And that's it.
  • When you go into this movie, you pretty much know exactly what you're going to get, because the trailers tell you what you're going to get.
  • A lot of CGI spectacle, a lot of explosions and buildings falling down, and rescue scenes.
  • And you get that.
  • Characters, they're not really there.
  • Uh, there's The Rock, and he's cool.
  • In all seriousness though, this movie knows exactly what it is.
  • It's a big disaster movie in which earthquakes continually shake California.
  • Buildings are falling down, people are constantly running from dust and cars and people and ass and guts and snot flying everywhere.
  • And The Rock rescues a lot of people, and The Rock is cool.
  • So, there it is.
  • That's your movie.
  • I can't really see someone going into this movie and being disappointed, because if you had high expectations in regards to story and plot, why?
  • I mean, haven't you seen every single disaster movie ever?
  • It's really just a showcase for great CGI.
  • And San Andreas has great CGI.
  • There's a lot of really good scenes.
  • And there actually are a couple jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring moments.
  • One involving a boat and a tsunami, and it was pretty impressive.
  • The Rock is good in the movie.
  • Carla Giugino, I think is how you say her name.
  • She was great too.
  • Alexandra Daddario.
  • Let's talk about her a little bit.
  • Lovely looking woman.
  • Good and true detective.
  • Kind of bad in this movie.
  • She did this overly shocked face for a large majority of the movie.
  • And yes, in this situation, I would be shocked as well.
  • It just, it felt so over the top.
  • Then there's an actor like Paul Giamatti, who just is exceptional.
  • He's great.
  • He's one of my favorite parts of San Andreas.
  • He never feels like an actor in this movie.
  • He just feels like his character.
  • A scientist who's exploring, trying to figure out how to predict these earthquakes.
  • And he did a great job in the movie.
  • For the most part, the acting is fine.
  • There are moments where they're trying to flesh out the characters more, involving a pass between The Rock and Carla Giugino.
  • But there wasn't really much else.
  • It was just, The Rock, you're cool.
  • And you can rescue people in your helicopter.
  • And you're freaking cool.
  • And that's really it.
  • So if you enjoy that idea, probably you'll have a good time with San Andreas.
  • But for the most part, it's just an opportunity to showcase a lot of awesome disaster sequences and people running away from things that are falling apart.
  • And after a while, it actually got a little boring because it really is just the same thing over and over and over.
  • But if I were to judge this on like the disaster movie scale, you know, where does this stand in regards to all of these big, gigantic pictures?
  • It's not on the bottom.
  • It's actually better than some of them.
  • I'm going to give San Andreas a C+. I think if you just go into this movie knowing that it's really just a bunch of buildings collapsing and people running and The Rock is awesome and he saves people and The Rock is so cool and you're awesome because you're The Rock.
  • But the film's attempts to be deeper don't really rise above the CGI spectacle.
  • So it kind of falls flat in that regard.
  • Guys, I'm curious to know what you thought of San Andreas if you did see it.
  • And as always, thank you so much for watching, guys.
