10.5 Halfway Review
Posted by Petra on May 03, 2004 at 07:30:34:

Hi All,

I'm anxious to hear what the rest of you thought about this new mini-series, but here are my thumbs up and thumbs down on what I've seen so far:

Thumbs Down:

The beginning of the movie
Train scene
No felt events in Sacramento from the Redding quake
The dust cloud, which sounded like there was going to be a volcanic eruption in progress, but was never explained.
The governor of CA.
The director of FEMA & his gathering of scientists (highly unlikely?)

Thumbs Up:
The Space Needle Collapse
The Golden Gate Bridge Collapse
The realistic role of the teenage girl
Dead animals at the pond and the illness factor

Overall, I think other earthquake movies I've seen were more interesting and had much better actors for the roles played. These folks obviously needed help with their science.
