San Andreas
Emmerich-level disaster film, brought to you by many brands, and The Rock as the heart of the film, that’s just folly.
A pure bog standard disaster movie, fresh off the template factory. A scientist nobody listens to, the main family trying to get back together, the new members of that family triggered by the disaster. There’s even the Bezos-level rich stepfather abandoning the kid, while upper-middle-class level rich father rescues them.
No way a British kid wouldn’t giggle at the first mention of Nob Hill. Not even a single 🍆 mention.
Casting Alexandra Daddario as the resourceful amateur fireman who gets to run around a lot, panting, getting all wet… It takes The Rock’s muscles to perform CPR on her. That’s a very high mammary content to shake around, looks painful.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
