Verdict on 10.0 Earthquake
Recap
The movie follows a scientist and a fracking company employee racing to prevent a mega earthquake from striking LA. The early tremors are causing damage and the race to prevent larger damage is on.
Best Parts
The disaster elements are interesting, and we get to see how a scientific concept could cause devastating effects. It shows how LA could get ripped apart by a disaster and how small moments could cause ripple effects. This makes for a fun disaster movie, but one where you can enjoy the destruction over anything else.
Worst Parts
We know the effects aren’t going to be the best and most of these are easy to see and come off weaker than they should be, even for the level of movie we are watching.
Final Thoughts –10.0 Earthquake is a fun late-night disaster movie.
