Skyblue90125 For some reason 10.5 (2004) isn't available in my location. What's that about?I watched this movie many years ago. It's so bad that it turned out to be good. Funny in an unintended way. Funny as in ha ha and funny as in strange.If you watch this movie, follow the blue folder. It has a bigger part than any of the actors.

Peter Finn This movie is really terrible. It has no redeeming qualities. I didn't see the original 10.5, and I'm not going to after sitting through this mess.Everything's bad: acting, writing, special effects, you name it.But the one thing I absolutely hate about this movie is the camera-work. I think the director of photography has an itchy zoom button finger. The camera keeps zooming in and out, in and out, in and out, etc. If you insist on watching 10.5: Apocalypse, be sure you have Advil and/or a motion sickness bag by your side.Maybe if you and your friends want a bad movie to make fun of, you should check this out. Otherwise, stay away!

Wizkids1 What did we learn from 10.5 Apocalypse? Well, some very important factors...First, if there ever is a huge earthquake, don't worry, somehow or another there will be thousands of beauticians and make-up artists running around ensuring we all look great while the United States sinks into some hole. Yes, this series shows that whether falling from crumbling buildings, or caught in the falling debris, you can still look like Lancome's latest model.Second, No one at the USGS has a brain. Yes, they are all so stupid they don't even know what a "rift quake" is until the beautiful doctor know-it-all comes on the scene to tell them.Third, all rescue teams are made up of hunks. It must be that Calvin Klein is putting together these teams because they are all handsome, buffed-up, and not a fully grown, or fully shaven beard among them! Fourth, take heart - when this earthquake hits, we have one redeeming factor to look forward to. Most of Texas will be drowned. We can only hope that George W. Bush is at home for this disaster and if we get lucky, Dick Cheney might be visiting him.This mini-series is, without a doubt, the stupidest, most idiotic, most boring presentation ever developed by man. It presumes that the viewer is a moron, and has so many lousy actors doing their absolute worst that within less than an hour, the only enjoyment one gets from this mess is thoroughly enjoying watching whining screaming idiots get killed - and the best is that every such 'tragedy' is forecast.The filming alone is enough to make you sea-sick, with the camera zooming up the actors nose every time some 'heavy' line is to be delivered. And heavy lines? Holy moly, this series is loaded with the most clichéd lines per second, and every one of them drops with a dull thud.Avoid this series at all costs unless you enjoy severe torture - which is what watching this dud is all about.

No One There's no pleasing some people, I suppose. Everyone seems to agree that 'The Day After Tomorrow' is a good film (despite an unimaginative script, stock-standard characters and a dull story) but '10.5 Apocalypse' is rated below 'Epicenter'. 'Epicenter'!!! '10.5 Apocalypse' is, in some ways, better than the original '10.5'. There's a little more action, some of the special effects work is better and the camera work isn't as distracting. It's an enjoyable film and has characters we can actually care about. There's a little less drama and a little more action. The set pieces are good. Some of the special effects (most notably the dam scenes) are top notch to boot.The biggest problem people seem to have with '10.5 Apocalypse' are the technical inaccuracies. Unless you're an earthquake expert (let's be honest here, very few people are) you probably won't even notice. It's all about the suspension of belief anyways.Am I to believe there are millions of people watching this film and thinking, "Wait on a minute, that building didn't REALLY collapse!" Am I to believe that I'm the only person that expects a TV disaster movie to be anything BUT hugely accurate? It's entertainment, that's all. A little human drama, a little tragedy, a little mass destruction to spice up your Friday night. There's no disclaimer at the start that says, "WHAT FOLLOWS IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE." It's not a documentary and it's not based on any actual events. So what's the problem? I think this film's rating of 3.6 is hugely unfair. It deserves better than this. It's not the next big budget disaster film but it's better than 'Epicenter'. This film deserves at LEAST a 4.0. Maybe even more.If it were a documentary, I'd agree that this film is bad for being inaccurate. But the acting is better than half the TV dramas I've seen, the script is easy to chew and the special effects are better than average. See this film, and judge for yourself.
