Our suggestions
In the aftermath of a massive earthquake in California, a rescue-chopper pilot makes a dangerous journey with his ex-wife across the state in order to rescue his daughter.
"In the line of classic disaster movies like 'Dante's Inferno', this movie starts off as a relatively grounded drama around speculations of a devastating natural phenomenon that may or may not happen (the fault of the same name is one of the most seismically active areas on the planet). However, once the chaos erupts, 'San Andreas' becomes a marathon of increasingly spectacular computer-generated destruction, until it stops making sense and becomes practically ridiculous, although no less impressive in its visual and sound section. All to see Dwayne Johnson ('Furious 7') do his job to save the day, backed by a solid cast that makes even the most absurd lines work: Alexandra Daddario ('Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief'), Carla Gugino ('Watchmen') and Paul Giamatti."
