8/10
Quite darned good.

I really liked this one. I've been watching a *lot* of not-so-great disaster movies on YouTube lately. I enjoying them all, even when they're really bad lol

This one is actually pretty good. It has a terrific cast, they are all equal to their roles, they're all good actors doing a good job here.

What I really like about this one is that it isn't sanitized. The consequences of the earthquake and aftershocks are shown in very gritty realism. The chaos, the mess, the dirt, the lack of tidy, miraculous resolutions. Bad things happen to nice people.

It's great. It brings home how horrific a situation like this would be.

There were no "star turns" here as there are in the Irwin Allen-type movies. This is just good ensemble acting. Special kudos to Richard Masur.

I saw the 3-hour version shown on YouTube.
