Planetquake

I understand not having a phone on while in air but there's earthquakes, like either of you could die. I like just blatant earth ending stuff but I don't care for any of these people I don't know anything about them either. Everyone seems like they are reading the script for how calm they are. "no star wars was a weapon imitative in the 80s" and the other dude just sort of shakes his head. What even are these conversations. I am starting to think Adam Sandler would appear in this movie. They kept mentioning the knock-on effect which they never really fully explain. The reason other movies are good that have the same premise is because they have slow down parts for the story. But the parts for the story are only like 5 minutes long. Also we see the same helicopters in multiple scenes with minor movements between the clips.

When I decided to watch 'PlanetQuake' I was in the mood for a 'bad' B-movie. In that regard, the movie did not disappoint - which isn't really saying much. When a nuclear bomb detonates on the seabed, it causes a series of earthquakes and tsunamis. Now, a group of very knowledgeable people - lead by Dr. Milly Anderson (Erica Duke) - must try to prevent an impending doomsday disaster. Helping Milly is Peter Houston (Phillip Andre Botello), who knows his way around computers, and her brother Dresden (Doug Jeffery), who used to be in service of the National Security Agency. (Quite a handsome silver daddy, if I dare say!) Together, they devise a bold - and unbelievable - plan to save the planet. From the acting to the dialogue and the visuals, 'PlanetQuake' is definitely a B-movie. The visuals are cheap, but hey, I could see they tried really hard. Not every disaster movie is awarded a big budget. The dialogue wasn't that great and at times I found they were spoon-feeding the audience with information instead of showing it. If you don't set your expectations too high, I'm sure you'll have a good (enough) time with 'PlanetQuake' - even if it is just for a laugh...

When offering a 3 star outta 10 for this cataclysmic story of events that scientifically are theorymaking at its most extreme, and has barely ever been seen/felt by modern day man, earth may be unpredictable but not as much as proclaimed in this story... which also desimates itself by the choice of cast with michael pare and erica duke in the mains, doesnt give you the creeps. Its a film that depends highly and mostly on great special effects making, with loads of cgi and vfx handwork, along truthfull and reliable props and location design,and a powerfull musical score line, and here the hellbenders have missed utterly and completly. So lets all wait till the next adressed earthquake blockbuster is on the ramp, this was really an annoying movie, at least for the grumpy old man.
