elliott78212 Now I'm not saying its 2012 I have seen worse movies on the sci-fi channel. A likable cast of B & D list actors, some moments of unintended hilarity, and decent special FX, make this a popcorn movie for the whole family. The beginning made me laugh this dude on a bike not gonna giveaway anything there you will judge for yourself. Now some reviewers have talked about the bad science the over the top this and that but I think any film like this we suspend one part of belief just to watch and enjoy none of these type films is totally plausible so putting that aside is important, like seriously as good as 2012, or Day after Tomorrow were you have to admit they were no more realistic just bigger budget. I thought this was better than Earthquake with Charleton Heston.

Chris Williams Yeah OK not the best movie ever made but what do you expect? It was a TV movie with the budget to match. The acting was not great but when you don't have the best talent to start with you aren't going to have an Oscar or in this case an Emmy worthy performance. All that being said it was good for what it was. It was even better than some of your "blockbusters". Do I think the events in the movie could happen in real life? Maybe. Do I think they would happen just like that? Absolutely not. But it's a good way to kill a couple hours and enjoy yourself. No harm no foul. If the movie had a bigger budget and maybe some better talent in it who knows might be the best movie ever made or at least in the conversation.

heather_schreiber I loved this show. I watched its premiere in 2004 and recently just caught it again on the Scifi channel. Watching the second time, the one thing that kept running through my head was, "Is this directed by the same person who directs 24?" The similarities are incredible. From the way it's shot, to the camera movement, to the triple boxes. They both even have numbers as names! Can anyone shed any light on this? Is there a real connection between 10.5 and 24? Thanks!I'm not even a big fan of 24, but I really did notice similarities. I think my favorite 24 episode actually aired on South Park! hehehe

Enchorde Recap: Suddenly disaster strikes Seattle. A huge earthquake devastates the entire city. Soon thereafter an even bigger earthquake strikes northern California (chasing and devouring a train for instance). The president assembles a team of the top experts in the field to find out what is going on. Dr Samantha Hill is on that team and has a theory. She believes a deep (really deep - I think she stated 700 km deep which is astounding considering that the Earths crust is at most 100 km thick (I'm not sure about the last figure, but 100 km is larger than all I could find)) hidden fault is responsible and that the earthquakes are separate but connected. And that is not enough. She predicts that next quake will strike San Francisco. But she has problems convincing anyone that her theory is correct. Until she is proved right that is.Comments: This is one of the biggest clichés ever. I doubt that the writers had any ideas of their own at all. Each and every step of the plot is predictable and typical of this kind of movie (and often stolen from another movie, for example Armageddon). All characters have troubles in their relationships at the beginning, but of course all reconcile (quickly and easily) during the movie. Each and every character is also deeply stereotypical. Thin like paper and not developing anything. Motives are blunt and typical clichés.I still wonder why in way too many bad movies the final solution is nukes. Here the nature is behaving badly, and of course the solution is to bomb it back in line. I'm not kidding. They are actually going to detonate nuclear warheads to force nature back in line, and to stop more earthquakes.I am also amazed that this production got nominated to an Emmy for best special effects. My friend and me frequently commented how horrible they looked. It is never any doubt that models and toys were used for most of the action-shots. Especially when the quake are chasing the train (Yes, it actually is. I kid you not) it is so bluntly clear we are watching a toy train-set in a set it is funny. The same goes for many cars and trucks and whenever water floods anywhere. The plot outline speaks of tsunamis too, but I never saw one though.In spite of all this, and in spite that it is really long (165 min) it never becomes too dull. Sure, you know how it will end right after the introductions are made and every event is predictable and typical of the movie, but something happens all the time. And you can sit there and be amazed how stupid they are all the time. But I never got really bored, I got to give it that at least.Finally I can't believe that it got a sequel...4/10
