Someone had actually painted on it "Mega Quake Killer".
Plus, the nose cone consists of red duct tape, and painted plaster.
The 'drama' in trying to move the missile was hysterical.... -in fact the whole scene... that is if you smoke a joint and get stoned before watching the movie. Can't stop laughing!

This movie is so bad you root for the earthquake.

Turned on a streaming service looking for something interesting to watch. San Andreas - Mega Quake. Hey I live in LA, been through a lot of them - lets try this.
So I did - and stayed with it to the bitter end. I wanted to quit earlier but by the time I got to a certain point I just had to see how bad it was going to get. The script itself - dialogue OMG Please. I LOVE CALIFORNIA. Was this the writing teams first movie script? The director, acting coach what have you or should I say where were you. Was the goal to get footage in the can or GOOD footage in the can. Joseph Michael Harris I feel sorry for. You see, most paper bags have been replaced with other types of bags at the grocery stores in California, so there is no possible way we can see Joseph Harris try to act his way out of a paper bag.
I am going to do some more research on this film because I really want to know who foot the bill for this nightmare.

Absolutely horrible

Some movies just shouldn't be made

What level of production was this? P or L?
I believe it's simply not worth time for writing nor reading much about all of the (negative) aspects of this title.
But I'll put down the most obvious and eye hurting ones: story line (boring and predictive), "spec. effects" (repetitious and legging decades - effect of low budget for sure), acting (for most of the characters), realism (now, that's "the big one"!), camera and editing (both of the latter are director's and editor's faults, for scenes were wrongly shot, chosen and put), so forth so on. Seriously hurting...
I believe the review title says it all. I can't find the motives for filming this reasonable enough, beside some seriously suspicious ones like time wasting.
Finally, maybe the only good thing is the subject that should and could have been approached super-seriously (after many attempts, from which this is the very worst I've seen). And for those who logically ask why I watched it (and wrote this): 'cause I'm interested in the topic of Popular Catastrophism.
Boring at a new Level
ingoklotz9 September 2019
The "actors" really stand the Premiere of this peace of trash². My son and daughter want to see it.... after 20minutes they begged me to switch it off. So this is my rating for the first 22minutes. And really there is no funny thing in this disaster of a film.
Hilariously bad
aspicymelon8 October 2019
This movie is so horrible that it made me chuckle multiple times. The Tom Cruise clone was probably the best actor but that's not saying much. Overall I would've given it a 1 but it made me laugh.
Also the blond chick smiles too much.

I've seen my fair share of B movies but this is so so bad. Awful script, bad acting and CGI that looks like it's been done on a ZX Spectrum.
How did he not see the huge plume of black smoke when looking g for the crashes helicopter before she told him what direction to look in!
Helicopters with no rotor blades, just some cheesy flashing on screen to give the impression but no wind to blow hair or grass!
Water that doesn't ripple during a quake
Objects don't fall off shelves in offices during huge aftershocks.
Can't wait for Mega Quake 2 - The Aftershock,

Embarrasing
helenrdavidj5 February 2020
You can actually see the actors cringing at their own acting. It's like they try to act, but the director tells them it's too good and they need to turn it back a notch.
The word stereotype is just too weak for these characters:
A grizzled gung-ho marine commander - check.
Two younger hero marines, one female - check.
The main macho hero - check.
A blonde bimbo - check.
Throw in lots of hoorahs - check.
Chuck in any old dubious story where they all almost get killed several times - check.
Add some dodgy CGI - check.
Absolutely tedious and embarrasing for all concerned. Watch some paint drying instead.

Epic! None better
HARDDRlVER14 September 2019
The graphics and special effects are first rate.
Hollywood needs to stand up and take notice.
2012 and San Andreas ain't got nothin on this baby.
I see oscar nods all around.
I would've included spoilers but why?
See for yourself.

The Writers need to get a clue
tszczerba122 April 2022
The Writers need to get a clue, the dialogue is even worse than some of the older disaster films. They keep repeating the same dumb lines over an over. The background is so obviously from some kind of video game. Wow, I didn't know helliwood was so dumbed down!
One of the worst TV movies of all time
gsfsu15 September 2019
Except that it wasn't......a TV movie. Someone actually thought this was a real movies with, you know, real actors, real dialog and even perhaps scenes that hadn't been done many times before. You know a movie is pretty bad when you can say the actor's lines before they do. Utter waste of time.
Totally comical if it was not so completely lame!

Oh dear
russallen-109987 September 2021
Oh dear, 0.1 would be a nearer rating. How can you be in a helicopter crash and not have a mark on your lovely white shirt. World class, just don't know what world. I will have to remember to miss this film. Right, let's watch Heavens Gate.
Duct Tape Missile... That's All You Need to Know!
kruszer-372278 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
We have to talk about the missile made with yellow and red DUCT TAPE, a painted foam/plaster cone and what appears to be a spray-painted flower pot on the end! I wish I could post a freeze-frame shot but I laughed so hard! It's a major element for the final ten minutes of the film but they didn't even bother to make the duct tape smooth, so it wouldn't have visible creases! In the aerial shot after they fall through a ground collapse it's SUPER OBVIOUS that the parts are joined with yellow duct tape! Come on, prop department! I've seen better missiles in a high school art class!
I don't normally leave reviews on films. And seeing this on Tubi I wasn't expecting more than a made-for-TV film. But this was an inexcusably bad plot, thin characters... Laughably awful all the way through.
And let's not forget that one of the main female characters somehow survives in the same day not one but TWO helicopter crashes, one car crash, whiplash braking, and a significant ground cave-in that knocked everyone out for a few seconds... but somehow she's not concussed and just wants to go to dinner with her ex by the end???
She really should get a BRAIN SCAN! And so should anyone involved with making this horrible film!

Was Anybody Fact-Checking the Script?
timmcclenaghan7 August 2022
First of all, the premise that land west of the San Andreas Fault could fall into the ocean is false. The fault does not go to the center of the planet. If the fault were to rupture its entire length at one time, a highly unlikely happening, it wouldn't move from east to west, but rather northwestward. Next, the La Brea Tar Pits do not sit upon a volcanic area. They are on top of an oil deposit. So you can't blow them up to release lava into the fault, which is about 100 miles from the La Brea Tar Pits anyway. Then, the La Brea Tar Pits are not covered in water, but rather covered in petroleum. So not only is this is a very bad movie as others have stated, the entire plot is unscientific.
87 minutes of my life wasted
theage30623 March 2020
This was so bad that even watching grass grow or watching paint dry would have been a lot more productive. Total waste of time. It was so stupid as to have me shouting at the dialog and stupid antics. What idiot for example has a truck with standard 4 wheel drive and doesn't know how to use it. Total morons!
watch it and u are dead

Keep trying to save California

The movie kept my attention & there were plenty of quakes & action. They are trying to save California from breaking off in the ocean. My (late) father use to say that it would happen someday. Hey, worst case it would be an island to visit, right? Better than I expected & I've been watching alot if disaster flic's these days!😣
Really bad

What a stinker!
wynne-jane29 April 2020
Yikes this one is soo wrong.
billslab23 September 2019
Ok I think I figured out what to do with this movie. Get together with a few friends that have a deep sense of humour. Let everyone freely make comments, predictions (which are not hard at all). The challenge is to see if you can actually make it to the end of the movie.
Sadly based on the title I was hoping to see familiar Southern California locations getting ruined in an earthquake, alas this did not happen.
Acting was really bad. Plot worse, CGI minimal.

Mega Quake Killer
nogodnomasters24 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Asylum disaster movies have a typical formula of a separated family. Mom and dad must come together and dad can save the world all the time they are trying to find their kids. In this version, mom must save California while the daughter is in L.A. on a search and rescue mission from the last quake. She is to rescue people, but one is good enough.
The last quake was 12.7. I guess the script writing didn't know the scale is logarithmic. A level 12 quake is a million times more than a level 6 and now they are preparing for a mega-quake. BTW it is estimated a level 11 quake would split the world in two. The science was as missing as the acting. The device at the end already had the words, "MEGA QUAKE KILLER" painted on it. That was quick work. I am surprised they didn't create a Lavalantula or Sharknado.
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
