So much average

Best movie ever!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The first must-see film of the year.

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.

Wow, that was bad, bad, bad. It was one of those movies that was so bad, that it would be faster to list what was good rather than what was bad.The bad - acting, writing, plot, character development, SGI, basic scientific principles.My favorite idiotic comment was when the military man proudly exclaimed that the enemy wouldn't even know that a satellite-induced earthquake was actually an attack (as opposed to an act of God), since the "ice turns back into water". Um, don't you think that they would notice the GIANT COLD BEAM coming out of the sky??!!?? The good - Yep, just like some parts of a standardized test, that line "is intentionally left blank". No redeeming qualities at all. I can't even justify giving it a one out of ten. I was forced into being that polite because the system won't let me give the score it deserves.Suddenly, Howard the Duck doesn't seem that bad after all.

I hate rubbishing peoples work. But.... This film looks great on the packaging, sounds like a great idea - A Mega Fault to rip the world apart. Now, lets get one definition out the way "World - anywhere within the USA" Explosions set off a seismic event triggering earthquakes big enough to rip a gash in the USA. No one else in the world feels it at all; this gap can be seen from space and the rest of the world carry on like nothing happening? Repetition of scenes - I watched it and thought "hang on, I've just seen that". I blinked once and missed the plot, blinked again and missed any form of character development. Didn't have a clue who they were (only the old bloke being in V back in the 80's) didn't know what they were doing and why. There was no effects on how this event changed the rest of the world, er sorry, USA and no sign of a president.I don't think I'll include this on the Wet Sunday list and I beg of all of you who do watch this, Don't make it an impression you have of the late Brittney Murphys work.

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.
