Just perfect...
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The lack of appreciation that MegaFault has been accorded is a travesty, showcasing the failings of today's society. Ever since I first saw this film, years ago, my life has been changed for the better. Who hasn't had to outrun a giant earthquake that causes telephone poles to explode violently? Who hasn't wept slowly in slow motion while in a helicopter? Who hasn't suddenly realised that they are melting into the tarmac due to a erupting super-volcano?This is the first film to properly explore these pressing matters, too long ignored or dismissed as 'unlikely' or 'pretty stupid'. People rate this film 1 or 2 stars just because the plot is terrible, the acting laughable, and the special-effects are as if made by the abandoned love-child of Michael Bay and a pile of human faeces created by a camera man with Parkinson. These people simply are too weak, too narrow-minded, to appreciate its artistry.When that porta-potty exploded, so did my close-mindedness. Racism and war ended, peace overcame my mind, and I finally achieved enlightenment. 9/10/
This ticked all of the boxes for me, because I love a good (aka bad) B grade disaster movie. This was SO bad that I've given it 9 out of 10 for sheer balls on being so utterly awful. It's so bad it's impossible to walk away, well, OK, not impossible, not even difficult, but it's worth sticking with it to embrace HOW UTTERLY DREADFUL this movie is.The acting is diabolical, the plot line is so implausible my head nearly exploded, the special effects are, well, crap, so therefore this is RIGHT UP THERE in my top 3 utterly awful, yet awesome crap disaster movies.The first time I watched it I fell asleep, but last night I watched it again and OMG, I can't believe the awesome dreadfulness I missed out on that first time. Whatever you do, watch it from start to finish, but I'd suggest that you have a lot of tequila, and a whole bunch of snacks on hand, because this is a doozy.I've watched hundreds and hundreds of awful movies in my time, but this one just had me hooked from the first moment in its sheer badness. Trust me - don't miss a moment of it. It's record-breaking.
While this Movie was being Filmed, anyone on the Shoot who had Eyes to See should have Called 911 and had Brittany Murphy Admitted to a Hospital. She is Shown here to be Suffering a Physical Ailment that Only Modern Science could Deal With. The Girl was Obviously Sick and this is Proof Captured for Eternity.The Movie is Better than 2012: Supernova (2009) by a Factor of about 2.0 on the Richter Scale but that is Saying Almost Nothing because that One is the Pits. Speaking of Pits, there are Quite a Few in this Mega Earthquake as Extinction Movie. If there aren't Enough to Cause Some Serious Damage to a City or Three or Four (its hard to keep score in this as things are seldom very clear as to what is going on, just that something is and their watching it), well then will make a Mega Pit of our own. Say about as big as the Grand Canyon. That'll Show this Upstart Quake who's boss.The Ending in this, yet another, Made for TV Movie, about the Ending of the World, just Goes On Forever with a Truck setting off Dynamite (by the MegaTons) in an Endless Chase to Outrun a Satellite, while the Aforementioned Sickly Girl keeps Reaching for the Sky at a Rope Dangling from a Helicopter. Does She Reach the Rope? Does the Truck Outrun the Satellite? You'll have to Watch to Find Out.......Or Not!
Man oh man, "Megafault" is your typical movie released by The Asylum. You have the failed actors (Brittany Murphy and Bruce Davison) and the guys who never made it (Eriq La Salle and Justin Hartley) all in a wonderful, horrible action drama with the usual touches of bad script, bad effects, and stone acting, ultimately leading to a fulfilling end.Murphy is some scientist (there's your first problem) that deals with seismology. Ironically an earthquake erupts during a conference led by some other scientist (Davison). The earthquake/megafault seems to have been started by La Salle's character, it's never exactly explained. Hartley plays Murphy's husband. The film tracks their reactions to the megafault.I didn't expect anything at all and I wasn't surprised at the end result of a brainless hour and a half. For example we look to the clichéd and hilarious thing where the hero is followed by the crack in the earth, Hartley's character surviving a plane crash that seemed to take both pilot's lives yet he emerges with a crooked tie and a hair out of place, and finally the BS description about all the scientific stuff. Cheesy but fun.Murphy is alright, but I wasn't expecting much. It's a heckuva film to end your career on, that's for sure. She'll be missed. La Salle is probably the best one here. He doesn't take this ridiculous plot seriously either. Hartley is pretty good too. Davison is more of an extended cameo but he's always fun to watch.Gist of the movie is brainlessness. It's one of The Asylum's better movies but still has enough ridicule so you can chuckle to yourself the whole way through.
