MegaFault

Trailer—MegaFault

The geography was wrong everywhere in this film! W. VA mountains don't look craggy and snow capped. Lexington, KY doesn't have a river running through it much less a huge granary. The holographic map showing the quake running across the US has the quake going through KY up north around Covington near the Ohio border. Lexington is in the center of the state! The acting was dry and at times annoying. The idea was good, but the script was horrible. CGI wasn't too horribly bad, but what was up with those explosions following the gas tanker while the fault chased them down the road? What really annoyed me were the people catching on fire in the small Wyoming (?) town from the head-up? Not to mention near the ending, when the explosions/faults are chasing Boomer in his Jeep, the large bodies of water nearby remain dead calm – not so much as a ripple. This film was an insult to any intelligent person!

Actually, this was so awful it was exquisitely awful. So I'm splitting the difference and giving it a 5 out of 10. But don't get me wrong. This really was the Sarah Palin or Harry Reid of SciFi movies. Starting with the snow-capped mountains of West Virginia, the movie then showed us what an earthquake was...something that you detonated by blowing things up...and it caused gaping chasms to open in the ground while something like artillery shells blew up in the air. The notion that a tectonic plate would just kind of split with no reference to any preexisting faults (like, say New Madrid) other than the San Andreas fault just astounded me, but this is science stuff and people who make science fiction movies shouldn't be held to that. The geographic ignorance seemed to complement the geological ignorance nicely. Let's see, the nearest city west of Boone County, West Virginia was Lexington, Kentucky. And a plane going down on the outskirts of St. Louis ends a smoking pile of twisted metal outside of Stillwater, Oklahoma. I wonder if any of them had a map in their glove-box when they were filming it. But I was also amazed that none of the cast apparently had any problems with these things either. A real upside of this was that the viewer didn't really care what happened to the characters. In fact, at the end of the year, everyone involved in it should probably get nominated for some sort of Darwin Award. And there's something to be said for a movie that you can watch without any sense of loss if you should fall asleep. And that's an amazing comment for a movie that blows up the Grand Canyon, among other things...

Starring : Eric Lasalle,Brittany Murphy and Bruce Davison. Loved the Impending doom of whole movie. Truly a roller coaster of terror," Will the ground/road hold up as I drive or run?" The effects are great,really. Watching this film on SY FY channel,Was probably fun…But the DVD has all kind of extras and really needs to be noticed. Eric Lasalle(ER) steals the film,In a good way with such an honest and true character. Bruce Davison (Knight Rider) really plays these distinguished leaders well,Didn't mention "Mad Scientist" once ! Brittany Murphy has a challenge ahead of her as a Sy Fy Heroine,'nuff said. The best scenes are of Brittany's Husband and Daughters journey to safety and Eric's scenes of trying to save his mother( We can all relate to this endeavor).

I didn't think a movie could be this bad and still see air time--thanks SyFy. I won't waste my breath on this, other than to pad the review out to the required 10 lines. Hopefully I can help someone avoid considering this to pass a couple of hours. Within 10 minutes, I was cheering for the quake and looking forward to the ad break. Avoid, everything is dismal in this. Btw when I checked in before the movie, it had 20 votes and a score of 7.5 here. Is that some standard default initial setting for a title? There is nothing to review here, one line is sufficient. Have I got 10 lines yet?

I rented it on Blu Ray, and it is a poor looking Blu Ray. I gave it a 1 and I didn't know that it was made for T.V. but then I suspected that it was when I saw how poor the special effects were. They did not even shake the camera manually (a technique that should hardly ever be used) but it was a type of fake digital camera shake. I agree with jmgalvan in that I would almost recommend it to watch in a Gilmore Girls kind of a way: Sit there and ridicule it. In that respect I found it entertaining, and I laughed a lot. The trouble is, it's an action-drama, and you are supposed to have the myriad of emotions that come with that genre. I love film, and I would much prefer to see a GOOD disaster movie. It is beyond me how Britney, (8 Mile) who I think is a fine actress, with 6 films coming out, and the incredible Bruce Davison, (Short Cuts) with four films coming would ever say yes to this. They should fire their agents. Eric LaSalle, (E.R.) is another fine actor, but he hasn't done all that much since he left E.R. which is a shame, and it might explain why he took this role. I thought the acting was good, but with a good script and director, all three of them would have really knocked the walls down which is what I expected, and it was the reason that I rented it. The special effects are the worst that I have seen since Buck Rogers, but......back then they had an excuse! LOL

Every single frame in this movie is amazing. The acting is phenomenal, the special effects are superb, and most of all the storyline brings it all together. All in all this might be my favorite movie I've ever seen. I have no idea why this was immediately released to DVD, this could've made millions in the box office. Nonetheless I would watch this movie again (even though I've already seen it five times) and enjoy it even more than the last time. The storyline is complex and most people probably wouldn't understand how deep and metaphorical it is, but I do. The Megafault represents communism slowly running through America and the black guy that wears the same baseball cap the entire movie represents modern racism felt in the common mans hear. SEE THIS MOVIE.

Let's see, Science 0; Acting 0; Plot 0; SFX 0; Script 0; English 0; Geography 0; etc, etc. A crack forming in the ground is not an earthquake. You cannot determine the Richter scale of a quake by damage assessment. It's an earthquake, not a tornado. Airplanes don't fall out of the sky just because they lose their beacon. The trailer on the truck was not a fuel tanker. The Osprey is not a helicopter. it is a powered lift aircraft. The star needs to send Jolie's lips back. If the earthquake death ray thing is supposed to be undetectable, why did the target area have to be cleared? Also, why wouldn't the government use it to refreeze the polar ice caps? I thankfully fell asleep after that. Don't bother unless you need a cure for insomnia.

This may not be the worst film I have ever seen, but I cannot recall anything more dreadful at the moment. The script was apparently written by folks unfamiliar with seismology, powered flight or the US military. Unfortunately the film is largely about seismology, helicopter flight and military operations. The dialog is bad. Even a veteran cast couldn't make me accept this simplistic chatter. The CGI is bad... even by made for TV standards. Many of the effects are so cartoonish, I laughed. The military scenes have too many errors to catalog. Where did they find the ancient Jeeps? Brittany Murphy's makeup is often garish and distracting. I could forgive all of this if the story were mildly engaging. Sadly, it is not. I didn't care about the characters at all.
