Fantastic.
I feel like Dwayne Johnson doesn't get the same baseline judgement as other actors due to his origins, and sometimes gets poor reviews due to the wrestling background.
In this case, he plays an excellent role, routinely with nuance.
The daughter character (Blake) is a good one, well fleshed with both vulnerabilities and strengths, a reasonable and realistic character, as is the mother (Emma) and Ben.
While there are some impossibilities regarding magnitude and follow-on disasters, it's a reasonable premise and believable story line. The effects are excellent, the story moves well, and the action manages to be fast and hard but also reasonable and realistic. The extraneous characters are as good as the main four or six.
I judge a book by how much I want to NOT read those last pages because I don't want it to end, and by how much I want to know what happens to the characters at the end. This movie checks both those boxes. Really excellent. Definitely on the shelf to rewatch going forward.

Broken case
By Ken M. on January 26, 2020
While I am pleased with the rapid delivery time (2 days) and the discs appearing to be in good condition, I was disappointed with the condition of the case for the Bluray, "San Andreas." I am an avid movie disc collector and work to maintain a pristine movie collection - discs, included written material, and cases. The case for this 3-disc collection (3D, Bluray, DVD) arrived in broken condition. Several plastic pieces fell out on the table when I opened it, one corner was smashed, the discs will not stay in the case because the center connector is broken, and it is impossible to close due to the closing mechanism having been broken. I also received the disc set for, "Aquaman," which was in pristine condition, so, it seems, delivery may have not been the issue - leaving me to conclude it was packaged this way. This accounts for my 2-Star rating.
