1. The plot is a relatively weak link, but it does not affect the viewing of the film.
1) The English name of the film: San Andreas, refers to the San Andreas earthquake zone where San Francisco is located. The fault that runs through California is about 1,287 kilometers long, and major cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco are on this fault zone. Existed for more than 20 million years. The film sets the seismic belt to begin action that will eventually destroy the entire state of California. In this process, briefly discuss the relationship between people, people and families, and people and nature.
2) The plot only revolves around the earthquake, which is simple and rude. Different from the disaster films "The Day After Tomorrow" or "2012", this film does not show the human beings when the apocalypse comes, and the escape action always revolves around the Dwayne Johnson family - a pair of good-hearted brothers who he met with his ex-wife, daughter and daughter. The themes of family affection, love and human self-salvation have all been touched on, and they have not stolen the limelight of the "protagonist" 9.6-magnitude super earthquake. This, for those popcorn movie viewers who really want to watch an enjoyable scene, the feeling is - cool.
3) You don't have to question why Johnson, as a member of the SWAT rescue team, didn't go on a mission, but wasted a lot of resources just to save his family. Because, this is popcorn chips. Of course, I'm going to deduct 15 points from it.
2. The visual effect is superb. A total of more than 1,400 visual effects have been enabled, and the effects are excellent. The collapse of the Hoover Dam, the collapse of skyscrapers, the cracking of the ground, the tsunami, and the broken bridge of the Golden Gate Bridge are quite realistic. After you read it, you must be shocked, and you must be slightly terrified.
3. The narrative is compact, which is a plus. The tense atmosphere doesn't last forever, and there are tweaks that allow you to rest and think for a while. People in the industry who want to make disaster films can study the script of this film, which is quite a stereotyped commercial film.
4. Actors:
1) "The Rock" Johnson's first big-budget movie with a single role. This time, he didn't have much action scenes, and he didn't show his muscles as desperately as before. He was more of a "driver" - driving a car, driving a helicopter, driving an airship, and even "driving" a parachute. Emotional scenes are a little difficult for him, but you can see that it is enough that he loves his wife and his daughter very much.
2) Alexandra Daddario, who plays her daughter, has a very sweet and natural acting, with super big breasts, which is shown in the play from time to time.
Compared with younger popcorn films like "Tomorrowland", I still prefer adult popcorn films like "Doomsday".
