I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

MEGAFAULT, a TV movie disaster flick, opens with the words that no viewer should ever witness: A SyFy Channel presentation of an Asylum movie. Yep, two of the dumbest purveyors of no-budget trash have teamed up to make an earthquake-themed disaster flick, so what could go wrong?The answer is everything and nothing. This is very much par for the course for such a movie: it's a film without much plot or indeed characterisation, one which gets by instead on a series of repetitive CGI effects of faults and cracks tearing through the ground, swallowing buildings and vehicles. When this happens for the umpteenth time you know that the writers were really struggling to think up anything fresh with this one.Cast-wise, we get Brittany Murphy as the intrepid seismologist heroine; this was one of her last roles before her untimely death and she's not looking at all healthy. Speaking of death, we're treated to another actor with a dead career: Eriq La Salle, formerly of TV's E.R., now treading water in a B-movie swamp. Bruce Davison appears too, contributing yet another adviser type part; I guess he never gets tired of showing up in such productions.The CGI effects are a little better than those found in some other Asylum productions, but they're hardly the stuff of greatness either. Not much really happens during the storyline, and there's never much of a sense of danger, just characters reacting to the latest CGI event taking place in front of them. It's not much fun.

Oh Brittany Murphy, the only excuse for this I can think of is that you knew you were about to die, and wanted to get one last paycheck to leave to your family. I know that sounds like an absolutely horrible thing to say, but she had done some decent acting in her life, and this isn't a swan song.I feel horrible about writing a bad review, knowing it was maybe her last film. But, the acting is bad, the plot is laughable, and it's almost as though the producers of this film didn't even want to spend a dime to research a single scientific element of this film with even a high school kid who passed earth science.The only thing I can say is, don't watch this. Honor the career of the actress by watching something better she did like Sin City, or 8 Mile (or even Just Married). Don't watch this. It's not only a bad movie, it's an embarrassment to a fairly decent actress.

The concept did seem good on paper, but potential is ruined by terrible execution. The film is badly made, with static camera shots and some of the laziest both in how they look and how they are used effects I've seen in a film recently.The dialogue just increasingly gets inane, the story is repetitive and dull with a predictable ending and the characters throughout act like idiots. The direction furthermore is a mess and the pace is uneven and meandering.The acting despite how talented the cast are is not good at all. Brittany Murphy, she was beautiful, she was talented, sadly she has a poor character and script to work from, so at the end of the day it's all wasted talent.Overall, terrible. SyFy have done worse, but that's not really a consolation considering how poor an effort this is. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I have no other words for this film. Nothing special about the effects either. They must have had a budget of at least $100 dollars and it really shows. With a cast of Z list actors that I have never heard of and hope to never see again there is nothing I find that is good about this movie, oh maybe there is, the end when I got to turn the TV off. I have never commented on a movie on here before but after watching this abomination I felt compelled to sign up warn others. I find it such a shame that this was one of the last movies that Brittany Murphy was in as I am sure she will be remembered for this and not her other fantastic movies.
