Synopsis

When miner Charley 'Boomer' Baxter sets off a series of massive mining detonations in West Virginia, a gigantic earthquake is soon rocking the North Atlantic, exposing a deep seismic fault that runs the length of the North American continent. Joining forces with government seismology expert Dr Amy Lane, Boomer must now race against time to stop the chasm that is threatening to tear America - and the entire world - in half.

emilyfawcettm The lack of appreciation that MegaFault has been accorded is a travesty, showcasing the failings of today's society. Ever since I first saw this film, years ago, my life has been changed for the better. Who hasn't had to outrun a giant earthquake that causes telephone poles to explode violently? Who hasn't wept slowly in slow motion while in a helicopter? Who hasn't suddenly realised that they are melting into the tarmac due to a erupting super-volcano?This is the first film to properly explore these pressing matters, too long ignored or dismissed as 'unlikely' or 'pretty stupid'. People rate this film 1 or 2 stars just because the plot is terrible, the acting laughable, and the special-effects are as if made by the abandoned love-child of Michael Bay and a pile of human faeces created by a camera man with Parkinson. These people simply are too weak, too narrow-minded, to appreciate its artistry.When that porta-potty exploded, so did my close-mindedness. Racism and war ended, peace overcame my mind, and I finally achieved enlightenment. 9/10/
LeonLouisRicci While this Movie was being Filmed, anyone on the Shoot who had Eyes to See should have Called 911 and had Brittany Murphy Admitted to a Hospital. She is Shown here to be Suffering a Physical Ailment that Only Modern Science could Deal With. The Girl was Obviously Sick and this is Proof Captured for Eternity.The Movie is Better than 2012: Supernova (2009) by a Factor of about 2.0 on the Richter Scale but that is Saying Almost Nothing because that One is the Pits. Speaking of Pits, there are Quite a Few in this Mega Earthquake as Extinction Movie. If there aren't Enough to Cause Some Serious Damage to a City or Three or Four (its hard to keep score in this as things are seldom very clear as to what is going on, just that something is and their watching it), well then will make a Mega Pit of our own. Say about as big as the Grand Canyon. That'll Show this Upstart Quake who's boss.The Ending in this, yet another, Made for TV Movie, about the Ending of the World, just Goes On Forever with a Truck setting off Dynamite (by the MegaTons) in an Endless Chase to Outrun a Satellite, while the Aforementioned Sickly Girl keeps Reaching for the Sky at a Rope Dangling from a Helicopter. Does She Reach the Rope? Does the Truck Outrun the Satellite? You'll have to Watch to Find Out.......Or Not!
gt65-799-292643 I found this movie on Blu-Ray at a great price and thought I could not go wrong buying it. I was wrong. Most of what is presented is scientifically implausible to the point of distraction. The rest is just plain ridiculous: they sent stealth fighters to intercept a helicopter, really? they look at a fault rupture and declare, "That was a 7.0."The actors performed well considering an underwhelming script and poor concept. As far as the writer and producer go, they should be exiled and deported for so thoroughly wasting our time.The only reason to keep this film in production is so that film students will know what they should NOT do.
BadlandZ Oh Brittany Murphy, the only excuse for this I can think of is that you knew you were about to die, and wanted to get one last paycheck to leave to your family. I know that sounds like an absolutely horrible thing to say, but she had done some decent acting in her life, and this isn't a swan song.I feel horrible about writing a bad review, knowing it was maybe her last film. But, the acting is bad, the plot is laughable, and it's almost as though the producers of this film didn't even want to spend a dime to research a single scientific element of this film with even a high school kid who passed earth science.The only thing I can say is, don't watch this. Honor the career of the actress by watching something better she did like Sin City, or 8 Mile (or even Just Married). Don't watch this. It's not only a bad movie, it's an embarrassment to a fairly decent actress.
