Summary: Hokey
Comment: I found this movie to be hokey as hell, and the acting was second rate. But as escapist fare, it was also great fun.

Summary: Blu-ray brings out more than just the details!
Comment: Reviews, and reviewers, can be sooooooo tedious. I have been recommending this video presentation for 2 and a half years. It is a must have for all West Coasters, especially Californians. Yea, I believe its helpful to have, (I've given away about 9 copies to date).
As relates to the Blu-ray version: I see more dust particles, more degree of light to shadow clarity, and a better sense of depth perception. There is nothing wrong with the regular DVD version, the Blu-ray just gives you more.

Summary: If You Liked The First One...
Comment: ...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? All these subplots are thrown to the wind. One almost gets the impression that the filmmakers ran out of money and just tacked on the ending.
So, in conclusion, yes the film is flawed, but hey, these films aren't meant to be taken seriously, so sit down, put your brain in neutral and enjoy.
