NEW ON BLU-RAY 10.5 Apocalypse A massive 10.5 quake tears apart the West Coast, triggering an unrelenting series of natural disasters that threaten to turn the American landscape into a hellish wasteland. Seismologist Samantha Hill (Kim Delaney, TV's Army Wives) sees an even greater threat: an ever-widening fault line that's heading for the country's two largest nuclear reactors. As the rumbling fault line continues to grow, Samantha races to find the one scientist who predicted this would happen years ago--and who can save millions from the ultimate nuclear apocalypse.
This sequel to 10.5 is a disaster freak's dream come true. We get destruction of Hoover Dam; Las Vegas sinks into the sand; Mount Rushmore crumbles, and Houston is dessimated.
While probably not geologically accurate, I found the movie pretty much enjoyable except for the too lengthy rescue sequence in Las Vegas, but the first half and the final third are pretty involving. There are no super star performances, but you get adequate ones from Kim Delaney, Frank Langella, Dean Cain, Oliver Hudson, Beau Bridges and Carlos Bernard. The CGI effects are pretty decent and although some of it is reminiscent of THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, there have been a lot more disastrous disaster films, so if you're a genre fan, you shouldn't be too disappointed.

My husband likes campy, disaster movies... so he bought this just to see the special effects. We got comfy, turned out the lights and prepared to watch a movie we weren't really having high expectations for anyway, but thought it might be good for some of the intense end-of-the-world disaster scenes at the very least. It turned out, I could not even stay in the same room with this movie for longer than the first 5 minutes. THE CAMERAMAN IN CHARGE OF FILMING THIS NEEDS TO HAVE HIS CAMERA FOREVER REVOKED for the RIDICULOUS zooming and constantly MOVING camera angles. There is literally not a period longer than one second where the lens is not zooming in, zooming out, zooming FURTHER out, zooming back in, zooming waaaaay in to where you are almost looking up someone's nostrils, then back out again. I have never seen anything more annoying in my life. I tried to ignore it and watch it but finally had to give it up because it was giving me a headache and making me feel SICK.
I have no idea how they thought moving the camera in and out constantly was going to produce any effect other than to annoy the crap out of the viewers. There is nothing good about this movie. I'm sorry. I had low expectations to start with but really, really have never see anything this bad before.
In fact, I have never reviewed a movie before. The HORRIBLENESS of the camera work of this movie "inspired" me to come to Amazon and share my frustration over the stupidity of the way this movie was filmed. It is a shame they could not have produced something that you can watch without feeling ill when they had some pretty interesting special effects at the very beginning to work with. But it was all downhill from there. Any scene which has a human being in it is ruined with a hundred different zoom-angles in the span of a minute or two. My 10 year old shoots better video, seriously.

...just because this silly movie is one of those that has the potential to be one that's so bad it ends up being "good," i.e. trying so hard to be serious that it ends up being unintentionally hilarious. I'll leave aside the predictable plot twists (e.g. "let's all celebrate now, 'cause we've beaten it, oh wait, oh my God, turns out we're not out of the woods yet"), and the ridiculous scientific premise, 'cause after all this is supposed to be science fiction/disaster/adventure, and there's no law written saying that reality suspension is necessarily bad in such a movie. A lot of the comedy potential is in the nauseatingly petty, overacted middle-school drama going on between supposedly adult characters--which they somehow have the time and energy to indulge in even while the entire world is crumbling around them. This lends itself to derisive laughter as well as cynical contempt for all concerned--you might find yourself rooting for the ever-expanding crack in the earth to swallow them all up and give a nice, juicy, self-satisfied belch. This movie could thus end up being a cult classic.
However, all this comedic potential is ruined by the annoying, amateurish camera work--the entire movie feels like it was filmed by some 8-year old who just discovered the zoom function on his parents' video camera. In and out, in and out, in a little further, whoops, a little too much, so pan back out just a smidge, then zoom in again so fast it makes your head spin. This goes on in EVERY SINGLE SCENE, the idea being, I suppose, to create "drama" or "tension." But such a gimicky technique is simply being used here to try to artificially infuse drama into the most banal of scenes.Read more ›

...then you'll probably like this one, since it's practically the same movie. I myself really liked the first one. It was fun on a no-brainer level and the cast, led by the very likable Kim Delaney, was at the very least capable, given what they had to work with. It sounds like I'm bashing these films, but really I'm not. I enjoyed both of them, but I have to admit this one left me slightly disappointed for two reasons. Warning, spoilers ahead!!
1) The death of David Cubitt's character barely an hour into the film. I thought he was a good partner and possible love interest for Kim Delaney's character and the way that he was eliminated was ridiculous, to the point where I seriously thought they were going to bring him back towards the end, bruised but still alive. And after a short crying episode from Kim, he's never mentioned again! Not once in the whole second half of the film! Not even when her father comes back. Weird!
2) The way too abrupt ending. Honestly, when I noticed that there was only three or four minutes left to the film and the fault line was still heading towards the coast, I thought "there must be another part to this" or perhaps the DVD inexplicably left out the ending. But no, the fault line hits the Gulf Of Mexico, the President utters a ten second speech, and the end credits pop up! Are you kidding me? What happens to the rest of the cast? Yes, the Oliver Hudson character and his wife make it (in my opinion the least interesting characters), but what about the President's daughter and the doctor she was working with? What about the woman who was heading up the rescue efforts in Las Vegas? Didn't she need closure too, considering at the beginning of the film she was still reeling from an accident a year or so prior to this?Read more ›
