I saw this just yesterday on it's opening day in the UK and I would say it's better then I expected. Realistic it certainly isn't (the closest you'll get to that as far as disaster movies go is The Impossible but I'm not here to review that one) but the earthquake quake scenes are the most impressive to date. Duane Johnson hardly qualifies as an actor but he does serve his purpose as rescue pilot Ray who must save his wife Emma and his daughter Blake who is abandoned by her no-good step father. Blake is joined by British (I think Australian) engineer Ben and his little bro Ollie who come to her rescue. I think that these two are clearly added to the movie simply to as a romantic interest and to make her plight less lonely. Of course you know that Ray will come through for all of them in the end and the principal characters will all survive impossible situations. If you want a movie with plenty of tension and spectacular effects but still a happy ever after ending then this is for you.
