Product Description
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars DOOMSDAY DISASTER, September 20, 2006

By	Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 10.5: Apocalypse (DVD)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, predictable, November 14, 2006

By	Lady Naava - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: 10.5: Apocalypse (DVD)

10.5 apocalypes is a disaster film about quakes. Essentially, a big quake reverses the continental drift and causes a huge gulf to form in the central USA. The first part of this film was pretty good. You see the aftershocks take down Mount Rushmore, several cities and cause massive computerized destruction.

The problem I had with the film is the blandness of the characters. Some were even unlikeable. The friction beween Brad (Dean Cain's Character), his little brother and his wife was just painful. They act like teenagers. Who couldn't predict what happened to Brad? I didn't honestly like any of them, didn't care whether they lived or died, and had no interest in their soapy melodramas.

The response from FEMA given their field record in real life was a bit comic. The disasters, however were great, and well worth watching, although the story lagged in the second part with the rescue in the casino.

3 stars. Would've been vastly improved by likeable characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Near Disaster, January 9, 2007

By	MultiMapper (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 10.5: Apocalypse (DVD)

You have to suspend disbelief to some degree to enjoy any disaster movie, but the follow up to 10.5 requires a bit more than I'm comfortable with. The action was decent and the acting was alright, but there were some fundamental flaws in the premise and conclusion that were really hard to swallow. There were a few subplots going on that really didn't enhance the story for me, but they were worth enduring to get to the next action sequence. If you enjoyed 10.5 as I did, then you'll probably enjoy seeing what happens to our heroes next.
