source: Destruction Los Angeles

Los Angeles is hit by a natural disaster. As a low budget TV-movie (I guess) it's a decent movie. Most of the actors do a nice job. Sydne Mikelle stands out on the good side. Director Tibor Takács has also found some good music and the sound are overall quite good.

I have seen a lot of movies stealing my time, but this movie is beyond the worst. Script and acting sucks, the actors didn't put any quality and emotion. The whole movie didn't touch the toe of reflecting the whole situation if such disaster will happen in reality. But I must admit that some scenes made me laugh loud, what a nonsense!

Highlight of the movie was when this background character tries to put out lava with a water hose and keeps at it while the lava gradually closes in towards him. Scene cuts to him, pants on fire and falling into the lava, which prompts one of the main cast attempt to go save him only to be stopped by another saying: "It's too late we can't help him." Budget or not, how can a whole team of people think there's nothing wrong scenes like this when they are beyond stupid. And mind you this is only one of many such hilariously illogical scenarios. Honestly, this is only evidence of a lazy production team that probably didn't give a rat's ass about the movie.

WHY is it always Los Angeles ?? Werewolves, vampires, seismic quakes, fires, aliens, even terrorists and North Korean invaders ! And it always happens within a stone's throw from a Hollywood studio ... This yarn is no exception, plenty of CGIs, robotic unknown actors struggling with a terrible script written by no less than SIX hacks !!! Very deep indeed ! This is ameture night folks, so please don't waste 2 hours of your life watching this garbage ....

I've seen a lot films lately and some of them was very poor. All of them beaten by this film. The data animations do not work at all. The actors should not get money for doing this. The story should never had reached the screen. Look, this is only one example of how poor this film is; Not only once the actors looks the least dirty even though the pretend to walk around in a really dirty environment with a lot of ashes in the air.

I have to be honest, i'm a junky for low budget films in the schi-fi, post-apocalyptic and dystopian genres but I have to say, when they don't have the big names stars and a zillion dolars for CGI (which always helps) but I find that with a small "suspension of belief" I can usually look past the bigger flaws and hapily enjoy what's been made. Yes, some of the actors suck (and blow!) especially the son who played such a vague charcter I didn't know if he was meant to be playing someone with a disability or not, but it was the editing that captured my notice. Most small budget films don't have the abiltiy to shoot extended sequences in chronological daylight order due to time and budget constraints. But compared with the latest Transformers movie (that whole chapter at the farm when the feds arrive) and the daylight goes from early morning, to late afternon to midday sun all within a minute it was so confusing! The editing in this film however, (despite the corny ending), somehow became the star of the show in a way I haven't noticed before with other low budget films. If you're going to watch it for the first time, just keep that in the back of your mind and see if i'm right. I couldn't edit a movie if my life depended on it but, i'm pretty sure I can spot it when it's done right. That's my 2 cents.

The terrible special effects take you out of any potential the movie may have had. It's so cheaply made it distracts you the entire movie.

The makers of this movie shall get some bragging for daring to touch the disaster genre on seemingly low budget. there are many holes in the script and a pretty chaotic timeline. there are some good visuall effects but also some very primitive,pre-80's stuff. the plausability meter sways from 3 to 7 to 10 to1 to3 amd so on,and the end are weird and abrubt. so what did really happen. the acting are b-movie like, not bad,but also not top notch. the score are merely terrible, but some of the sound effect are spot on to the natural sound of an earthquake and erupting volcano. its heavy weight stuff to make a product that appreciates the squemish viewer. i give it a max of 5.
