Veronica Pena (690 KP) rated San Andreas (2015) in Movies
Jun 17, 2020
When I watched it a second time, my poor soul, I was slapped in the face with how atrocious I always knew it was. I am a firm believer that most every Dwayne Johnson film is the same. He's always the hero, the rescuer, the buff, tough, don't mess with me type of guy. I don't think I've seen a film with him in it where he's not that person and if you find one, let me know!
Overall, I think this film just shows the lack of diversity in his characters, but also that writing and having a thought out plot are just as important as cast and effects. This film did not lack in effects, but it definitely lacked in pretty much every other department.
