More disaster trash from the SyFy Channel, made with even less originality than before. 10.0 EARTHQUAKE is your bog-standard earthquake movie in which America finds itself assailed by a series of continuous earthquakes, the sole result of which seems to be creating CGI cracks in the ground and causing bad actors to run around and scream a lot.

This routinely dull film follows exactly the same template as many a SyFy movie, including an inordinate amount of time spent on characters driving around in cars. Quite why you're supposed to care about a car full of bratty teenagers, even if they are the offspring of the main characters, I don't know. The film lumbers from one clumsy set piece to the next while the script regurgitates old pseudo-science and the viewer struggles to stay awake. Disgraced actor Jeffrey Jones is the only familiar face they got to appear in this film, which says something.

Fracking earthquakes hit Los Angles and threaten the big one. Jack (Henry Ian Cusick) a divorced engineer must save his family, get back with his wife and save the city, which you already know if you have ever seen a disaster film. In this feature, there is only one child to save (Heather Sossaman) and he goes after her before he knows she is in trouble. Jeffery Jones imitates Christopher Lloyd as a scientist. Once again Chasty Ballesteros gets a role as the token "hot Asian chick."

Very boring. Very formula.

Guide: F-word. sex. no nudity .

BTW, due to fracking there are now more earthquakes per year in Oklahoma than California, but the threat of Tulsa falling off into the ocean is not a very convincing film, although I am sure Asylum could pull it off.

Nobody you ever heard of is in it.Those desperate enough to risk having it on their C.V. spend most of their time shouting their lines so loudly that the sound of the eponymous earthquake fades into insignificance. Five odious teenagers on a trip to the countryside around Los Angeles apparently to smoke dope and have sex in one or several combinations are winnowed down to the two least objectionable. The parents of one of these children set off to find her. The father works for a fracking company deemed responsible for the earthquake so the movie can claim some cred in Green circles which is negated when fracking technology is used to stop the quake. Confused?Don't be - it isn't worth it. The car driven by the teenagers turns from a SUV to a sedan and back again.Confused...see above. Half the buildings in Los Angeles appear to be on fire whilst people stroll about nonchalantly.Confused?What can I say? The special effects were apparently done by an eight - year -old on her Apple. Everybody was relieved when it ended somewhat abruptly and we could all go home. Best performance was from a setter who was able to dump on command thus showing the lost kids which way was North. You learn something every day. This dog looked remarkably like "Roger",the setter in "Jesse Stone". He was rather rudely left out of the credits.Perhaps he cares about his C.V. If it was him,his name is "Joe"and he was the cleverest member of the cast.
