An earthquake rocks California in San Andreas.
Luckily, Dwayne Johnson is on hand to put that disaster in its place.
Its so implicitly understood by audiences that the excitement is often derived only in celebrity casting.
Hes as incredulous as we are that an earthquake has stepped into his trashy blockbuster ring.
Poor, poor Mother Nature hopelessly imagined this was a fair fight?
And to be sure,San Andreasis amusingly broad: like the length of its namesake fault line.
In short, the movie makes us feelgoodabout the widespread devastation since it brings these three people closer together.
And that is where director Brad Peyton and his special effects team really shines.
Indeed, the earthquake hits San Francisco with the kind of wrath that televangelists dare only dream of.
In the end,San Andreasis a lot like the films tsunami.
Its big, loud, and washes right over you.
