Thanksgiving came and went, and it was fun to hang out and
just chill. Yes, I did work on some homework building my writing website, but
that was fun. I also sat back and finally watched one of those blockbuster disaster
flicks., 2015s San Andreas. Unfortunately, it did nothing but remind me on why
I stay away from them,
Plot/ In the aftermath of a massive earthquake in
California, a rescue-chopper pilot makes a dangerous journey with his ex-wife
across the state in order to rescue his daughter.
Disaster movies are one of my soft spots, as when I was a
youth, they would seem to pop up all the time. Unfortunately, in many ways,
those movies from the 1970s are much better than the ones that come out today.
San Andreas is another example of rehashed storyline with massive CGI effects.
In fact, this one may be one of the worse, with too many storylines intersecting
and unbearable dialog and plot distractions. Couple those issues with the fact
that it is extremely predictable, and you have the latest Hollywood blockbuster
disaster flick. In the end, if you want a disaster flick, check out Earthquake
from 1974, it is much better and more entertaining.
