Big disaster film which has some of the pleasures of films from that era, and a typically confident performance from Dwayne Johnson. The special effects are impressive - there's some really good destruction.
But the basic story isn't great. Dwayne is a rescue pilot - yet when San Francisco is getting wasted and he's flying around in a helicopter not rescuing anyone except his wife and they go looking for their daughter. Who's not in that much danger - well, not compared to everyone else. You know, people who died.
Most of the action time is Dwyane and ex Carla Guigno running around trying to find their daughter who is with two guys (a SNAG and his brother). Paul Giamatti hangs around in his office a lot.
There's a bunch of Aussies in minor roles like Dennis Coard and Kylie Minogue!
