Earthquake (1974)
Member Rating:  
Los Angeles is the natural site for a film about earthquakes: they happen there frequently, and the landscape is familiar to moviegoers from thousands of films. A huge number of ongoing vignettes which include cameos from numerous celebrities and stars are tied together by the ongoing efforts of architect Graff (Charleton Heston) to rescue his estranged spoiled-rich-girl wife (Ava Gardner), while helping out with the ongoing rescue efforts taking place around him and while trying to determine what has happened to his mistress Denise (Genvieve Bujold). The rumbling sound effect designed for this film (Sensurround) won a "Best Sound" Oscar for the film in 1975. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

    While the special effects for the time period were impressive, the overall movie was disappointing. The ending stunk, particularly when there really wasn't a definitive ending. Action movies aren't always known for their acting, but the performances here by the main characters were particularly disappointing. Not worth watching

    Pretty cheezey movie. Special effects were not so special; looked like the 50s. The quake was in the middle of the movie and the second half was about who/how the characters were rescuing or getting rescued (or getting dead). Problem is, the movie did nothing to make us care what the outcome for any of them might be, except the kid, and you knew he wasn't getting snuffed. I'm doing disaster movies right now, and this is among the lamest.
