San andreas not my style of film my friend wanted to watch it.
There's allsorts of reasons why some of the stuff in these type of films annoy me, even tho my grievance might sound petty or daft.
For starters the car scene at beggining of the film you knew straight away the action scenes where going to be ott and pathetic , sorry but a car hanging on edge of a cliff at almost 90degrees nah u alright mate have some realism in the scene like its on a angle of some sort or edge of the cliff.
Its like kinda trying to be realistic but being unrealistic at same time,
And fact no matter what happens in the film you know the outcome before it even got going, whats the fun in that because no matter what lies ahead you know they will all survive no matter what, you knew his daughter would pull through, Bollocks she drowned and would be dead end of , so whats the point of long drawn out scenes when you know the outcome anyway? at least they could have some realism and kill two of them. Every film need some unpredictable you dont know what going to happen scenes, instead of having a sick soppy predictable happy ending that everyone survives , that alone ruins a film for me
The scene where their riding into the wave and they clip bottom of that huge tanker and all the containers are falling down towards them and they manage to survive. Yes ok then like you do.
You wouldn't get all this bollock nonsense in films like towering inferno, or poseidan adventure at least they had realism in them not like todays films.
And bits of scenes that i dont quite get the theory, eg when the earthquake started and it shows the scene of the bollards rising erm whats theory behind that, they did it in the sense as if we are going somewhere with it, like people are going to run into them or fall over them and hurt themselves. But no they didnt, so in theory It was a complete pointless scene Yes its only a film but if hollywood got out this pathetic ott silly exaggeration look at me im a big hollywood style film and went back to the old style of realistic disaster movies then people might take some of these films a bit more serious and enjoy the film for what it is, but until then i cant and things like that why these type of films annoy me And why i tend to avoid them.
