| Baret NewsKam WilliamsDoes for San Francisco what Jaws did for the Ocean! |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenI was in the mood for a big, dumb disaster movie when I saw this, and this one delivers on both counts. A lot of time is spent on feelings and relationships in this movie. This is like a Jane Austen earthquake disaster movie. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderVisually well-executed, shiny and seat-rattling, and completely useless otherwise. It does the one thing it set out to do, though, and so here we are. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Cliffordseems to have its tongue firmly planted in cheek, screenwriter Carlton Cuse's take...hitting every genre cliche so relentlessly it all adds up to preposterous entertainment. |
| New York Magazine/VultureDavid EdelsteinThere are things in San Andreas that no one would have dreamed of seeing 40 years ago, when "Earthquake" (with its tacky, plaster-cracking “Sensurround”) represented the state of the art. But nothing means anything. The spectacle feels less earned than Dwayne Johnson’s biceps, which are ludicrous but not hollow. |
| ChrisStuckmann.comChris StuckmannSan Andreas is competently assembled and teeming with impressive spectacle but is also emotionally stale. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowSchlock disaster porn...disaster as family therapy. |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalChristopher LawrenceIn the end, though, it's like the aftermath of any large earthquake: You'll be glad it wasn't any worse while noticing its many faults. |
| Dork ShelfJason GorberSo who's to find fault with a film about faultlines, where one is simply supposed to revel in the seismocalypse and enjoy the tectonic fury? |
