‘San Andreas’ Review: The Rock Delivers Big, Dumb Disaster Fun
San Andreas is exactly what you expect, a big, schlocky disaster film with a hardscrabble family at the center. It's entirely formulaic with no surprises, but sometimes that's not a bad thing. The beauty of popcorn cinema is checking your brain at the door, strapping on your 3D glasses, and watching hundreds of CGI buildings topple like Legos. The screenplay by Carlton Cuse sticks like glue to the classic ten pages and a bang blueprint. Every time San Andreas gets hokey, something gets epically destroyed to keep your attention. It doesn't nearly reach the glorious action heights of Mad Max: Fury Road, but is gentle enough an experience that an entire family can enjoy...As long as they're not too concerned with story or realism.Dwayne Johnson stars as Ray, a Los Angeles Fire Department rescue pilot. He's about to take his daughter (Blake), Alexandra Daddario - still smoldering from her stint on True Detective, to college when an earthquake turns the Hoover Dam into rubble. A scientist - Paul Giamatti, studying the tremors at the dam collapse, realizes that this maybe California's long overdue seismic disaster. Meanwhile, Ray's soon to be ex-wife - Carla Gugino, heads to meet the sister of her new boyfriend - Ioan Gruffudd. He's kindly taken over the father duties and is taking Blake to school in San Francisco. As the San Andreas fault begins to shake, Ray races against time and nature to save his family.

We also get new clips with Carla Gugino as Ray's ex-wife, Alexandra Daddario as Ray's daughter Blake, and Will Yun Lee's Dr. Kim Park.After the infamous San Andreas Fault finally gives, triggering a magnitude 9 earthquake in California, a search and rescue helicopter pilot (Dwayne Johnson) and his estranged wife make their way together from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save their only daughter.

‘San Andreas’ TV Spot: You Can't Hide from an Earthquake
A massive earthquake unlike any ever felt in the U.S. could even impact the East Coast warns a new TV spot for San Andreas. Paul Giamatti reveals that, even though the quake started in California, the entire country will feel it, teasing that there could be massive damage all the way to New York. The footage we've seen so far has only shown how the West Coast has been affected by this disaster, but perhaps we'll see how other areas of the U.S. are handling the earth-shaking occurrence once the movie hits later this month.Directed by Brad Peyton (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island), San Andreas also stars Ioan Gruffudd, Archie Panjabi, Hugo Johnstone-Burt, Art Parkinson, Kylie Minogue, Will Yun Lee and Colton Haynes.
