Synopsis

When miner Charley 'Boomer' Baxter sets off a series of massive mining detonations in West Virginia, a gigantic earthquake is soon rocking the North Atlantic, exposing a deep seismic fault that runs the length of the North American continent. Joining forces with government seismology expert Dr Amy Lane, Boomer must now race against time to stop the chasm that is threatening to tear America - and the entire world - in half.

Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
johnwmarcus I just watched this after DVR'ing it from SyFi channel. I thought it was a good movie. The actors played the movie with skill and demonstrated their craft with dignity. All of the poor reviews are just piling on by naysayers. I thought it was worth my time. Yes, you have to suspend disbelief quite a bit. Helicopters don't take off in seconds, and earthquake strikes don't follow people. And earthquake strikes don't actually open up a bunch of endlessly deep chasms. And you cannot engineer a country wide canyon in two hours with conventional explosives. But fantasy and SciFi must allow for an extensive amount of suspension of disbelief. And tight budgets of a made for cable TV movie must allow for a lower level of special effects. At no point was I distracted by the special effects. So enjoy the movie. Eric LaSalle was particularly worthy in this role. As was the late Brittany Murphy. The movie is memorable enough.
Brucey D like many made for TV 'SyFy' movies this one comprises an implausible plot, indifferent acting, meaningless dialogue and various dodgy SFX.However two things struck me in particular about this movie.1) The plot is even more nonsensical than is 'normal' even for this type of film, and...2) The female lead just looks ill throughout the film.I came to the second conclusion without knowing anything about Brittany Murphy; to me, in this film she looks grievously underfed, with a sallow complexion (even with make-up on) and was clearly struggling with a nervous tic (and indeed to act at all) in every other scene.So when I looked her up on the internet(during an ad break) and found that she's tragically died only weeks after this film was made, I wasn't all that surprised. If she looked that bad on film, the poor lass must have been in a really bad way. Another victim of her profession, or something...?.Anyway this film is unbelievably bad by any standards, and I would have found it hard to sit through in any event. As it is, I could hardly bear to watch any of the second the second half because it is just no fun seeing people who clearly should have been in hospital (or something) trying to act.An unintentionally tragic film.
DianaFox Wow, that was bad, bad, bad. It was one of those movies that was so bad, that it would be faster to list what was good rather than what was bad.The bad - acting, writing, plot, character development, SGI, basic scientific principles.My favorite idiotic comment was when the military man proudly exclaimed that the enemy wouldn't even know that a satellite-induced earthquake was actually an attack (as opposed to an act of God), since the "ice turns back into water". Um, don't you think that they would notice the GIANT COLD BEAM coming out of the sky??!!?? The good - Yep, just like some parts of a standardized test, that line "is intentionally left blank". No redeeming qualities at all. I can't even justify giving it a one out of ten. I was forced into being that polite because the system won't let me give the score it deserves.Suddenly, Howard the Duck doesn't seem that bad after all.
grantem2000 Shocking acting to a dull and predictable plot with truly appalling special effects. Were they trying to make the worst move ever? I didn't know anyone did special effects this bad any more; especially surprising when you consider what Monsters just achieved on a low budget with a laptop.I watched Megafault having enjoyed Eriq La Salle in ER. It is very sad to see him in such a poor movie.Sometimes movies are so bad they can be funny, but this one insists on taking itself seriously.At least my wife and I enjoyed trying to outdo each other in describing who terrible Megafault was, but it would have been better to just turn it off.
