I'm a geologist and I can say with certainty that it would NOT be felt on the east coast. The complex geology of the Rockies makes that impossible. And- a 9.6 hitting San Francisco is also not possible. Earthquakes over 9 are rare and only occur at subduction zones- events called a megathrust earthquake. Seattle could see a 9+ quake someday- the Cascadia subduction zone is locked and overdue for a big one. Worst case scenario for LA and San Francisco is a large-scale rupture of the fault, with a magnitude of around 8.0. A tsunami is possible, although not very likely, and it would not be nearly as big as the one shown- which is exaggerated. A wave that big would only happen after a megathrust event, or if a large volcano or mountain undergoes sector collapse.
The Golden Gate bridge runs North/South. There’s absolutely no way that the sun would be setting in that direction unless the Earthquake changed the entire rotation of the planet.
Took me forever to find the thing. I guess the directors thought that if they had the wrong bus, painted it a different yellow, and made the stop sign arm very small, no one would notice it was a "school bus".
True, true, true. When I've actually paid for a movie (rarely) and it goes from bad to worse I go from tickled to angry. Humor gets lost somewhere in between, but then I'm not getting paid to do reviews, lol.
The jokes are definitely hilarious at times but considering all of CinemaSins videos are scripted and edited for the punchlines it's the absolute polar opposite of "rapid-fire." Frankly, if you're using the videos as examples of his "rapid-fire" wit then you're criminally *_OVERRATING_* it.
You missed the biggest one of the movie. The San Andreas faultline is a transform (or lateral / strike slip) fault, meaning it slides sideways against itself, not up or down. That means it doesn't displace a large body of water the way a convergent fault does, and thus isn't capable of spawning a massive tsunami like in this film.
Man I like what you mention about how majority of movies are just moments and not really written or directed with any kind of running logic they stick to
Yeah it really bothered me that Dwayne's character not only abandoned his duty to los anglees rescue but also technically hijacks that rescue chopper for personal reasons...during a massive emergency and natural disaster and nothing happens to him... not too mention multiple counts of theft and looting. this is like if firefighters just suddenly abandoned fighting the wildfire and or evacuating people then stole several local vehicles and or rescue helicopters to go save their individual families two counties over.
I could see him getting away with it, given that probably anyone that knew what he did, that he directly worked for, might have all died in the earthquake or the rescues. and with such massive death, and destruction one AWOL rescue pilot would probably not be on the top of anyones list for years
If a 7.1 earthquake only causes moderate damage and no fatalities in Ridgecrest, CA and surrounding Southern California, there's no way it can level the Hoover Dam lol
Depends on where the epicentre of the quake is. If it was directly on the hoover dam it could cause major damage to the structure. Thankfully that would be an extremely unlikely occurrence
I don't know if anyone else noticed but at 14:43 when he went to add 10 additional sins for Blake and the 2 British brother surviving all kinds of unlikely things throughout the movie, only 1 sin was added to the Sin counter and it wasn't until the following sin that the 10 sins were added.
We watched this in my science class and EVERYONE gasped when the one guy died, and the when the driver got crushed. And there’s one thing that could have saved the daughter... the LIFE JACKET!
I suppose she pulled the glass out of that dude’s leg because they weren’t near a hospital or the hospital was destroyed, but normally you don’t pull the object out. Leaving it in prevents the bleeding from worsening, especially if the object is in the leg (femoral artery). It also prevents damage that happens from pulling an object back out. Infection and such can be taken care of later. Bleeding to death is harder to fix.
Yeah, but also, the time was bugging out the entire time. Think it was something to do with a joke about the time it takes for anything to be done in a movie, or about it being about earthquakes. Who knows, could have just been broken.
Minty Zed Grimes yet another person who doesn't know how to read a top/pinned comment from the channel owner... how do y'all leave comments without seeing the very first comment from the channel?
Timmy Teaches yet another person that only knows how to yell at others for something that no longer exists and proceed to not explain it to others, enjoying shitting on others?
+ToM92MoT It's why I can't wait for the day we have PCs and city games like Sim City 4 modernized, so we can blow the hell out of cities, and watch their beautiful towers catch on fire, fall, and smash into a billion pieces. :D :D :D :D :D
when she pulled the glass out of his leg I shook my head in disappointment. youre not supposed to pull an object out of a wound before binding it. you bind around the object in question.
The year this came out, my mom's last sibling died. She was the only one left..since we have friends in CA, I took her and a friend. The movie was so over the top, but the special effects and story was like a rollercoaster ride. They had a great time. My mom noted that the only special effect missing was The Rock without his shirt. The movie helped snap her out of her funk.
Here's a missed sin that I couldn't get past - he dives out of the boat to swim toward the building Blake's trapped in. It's never a good idea to dive into deep water if you don't know for sure that there isn't something right below the surface, but in this scenario, when there's rubble and debris EVERYWHERE, the last thing that an emergency responder would do is dive; he'd definitely slide in feet-first just off the side of the boat. Diving here would be a quick and easy way to get some rebar right through the forehead.
All jokes aside I watched this when I was much younger and the death scenes, especially the chef on fire in the restaurant, stayed with me for a LONG time, and that old couple in the tsunami is heartbreaking. The special effects are amazing and this movie was, frankly, terrifying to young me (even tho I don't live anywhere near the US). Now I almost never watch disaster movies. Edit: it wasn't actually that long ago, about 3-4 years (I wasn't that young but it feels like I was). I'm sorry if I exaggerated a bit.
@@zsysvr2959 Holy fuck, this movie is 6 years old, how can you be talking about 'when you watched this as a kid', and how old do you think you are now?
@@Youchubeswindon it blows my mind when i see comments like this. be talking about a song thats 3 years old and people in the comments will say "this reminds me of my childhood" like what.
I would like to start something called "CinemaSin Syndrome". ( Maybe even "Cinema SinDrome" ) I'd like to ask everyone if after watching a few of these, anything you do afterwards ( watch a movie tv show, or even just walk through your house ), you start to imagine this guy saying sins regarding things around you? Anyone, anyone?
While I would like to point out that I do like this movie, that the movie has completely glossed over the fact that the destruction of the Hoover dam has essentially wiped out the power for every city in the southwestern United States and California
Oh and it's fucking amazing that the giant buildings in San Francisco and Los Angeles, which were built to withstand earthquakes, get destroyed With that said, I do recognize that they are only built to withstand earthquakes up to a certain magnitude, but that makes me question why all the buildings did not collapse And the fact that they only put the destruction of the transamerica building in the background
6:31 "If you didn't get the hint that the foreigner is a huge nerd who knows what he's talking about, here is a literal tattoo of equations to prove his devotion
Just re-watched this, The Day After Tomorrow and 2012. Not only are you at the top of your game here these are actually hilarious, you were kind on the sins. Between the 3 of these films I'd say there is close to a million sins each. But again these films are why I love this channel!!! :)
An extra sin for the scene at the stadium where he tells the woman to "find something sturdy." WTF is sturdy during a 9.6 earthquake??? The earth itself is splitting apart. There's nothing sturdy about anything!
7:55 , you need to remove 10 sins for the guy making the right call and putting his brother in harms way to save Alexandra Daddario. That is once in a life time chance there and he chose wisely.
"Thankfully this search and rescue helicopter pilot also knows how to fly planes" That one is one the few non "sin of conveniences" in the movie. Helicopters are significantly harder to fly than fixed wing aircraft so many rotor pilots often start out learning flight basics in planes. Even if it's only basic flight lessons it's easier for them to get comfortable with radio communications, navigation, engine gauges, and flight surfaces in a plane where it's far more stable. However, I do agree that if the Rock wanted my stolen truck I'd give it to him, hell if he wanted my actual paid for truck I'd give it to him.
11:46: Yes, it can, but only if you're a seismologist, so actually no. The way the focuses of earthquakes are found is via three separate seismology stations in different parts of the globe. (The focus is where on the map and how deep in the crust the earthquake occurred, whereas the epicenter is just where on the earth's surface the earthquake occurred.) The amplitude observed at and distance between each station help pinpoint exactly where in the earth's crust and at what location AND what magnitude the earthquake was. If an earthquake is strong enough, vibrations are so palpable that they can be felt from hundreds of miles away, but not as far as the east coast from the San Andreas Fault line. Also, this movie's disaster sequence is impossible for three main reasons: 1. The San Andreas faultline isn't nearly substantial enough to cause an earthquake stronger than 8.5 on the Richter scale, at least, as far as we have observed. 2. Showing the fault split open is unrealistic, as San Andreas is a transform fault, where two tectonic plates are sliding past each other, and what would really happen in this scenario is that all scenery along the fault line would move in opposite directions along with the plates. Roads would look like this from above: | | ------- | | One would not see land being separated by a huge crevasse for miles. 3. The San Andreas fault can't cause a tsunami, as tsunamis of this style are caused by earthquakes on the seafloor that displace water via shifting up or down from below. This can only occur at divergent or convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are either smashing into or pulling away from each other. Seeing as though San Andreas has plates sliding past each other, very little would happen if the part of the fault exposed to the ocean slipped, as little water would be displaced. SCIENCE. P.S. I know that one finds this nitpickiness bothersome if they just want to watch a disaster movie, but honestly, fantasy requires some root in reality, and I'd be far more interested to see a disaster movie about disasters that are plausible. It makes the ride more thrilling because the plot is compounded by the foreboding question of "what if?"
Disaster movie I really want to see, nuclear test/bomber crash hits the right spot to cause a cataclysmic chain reaction that completely crippled either North America or the entire world with a majority of people dying and no way to stop it
Very good science, and to your point, no the San Andreas fault can't produce such a quake that it is felt on the East Coast or above and 8.5 (although I thought the limit was an 8.2). However, powerful earthquakes in history have been felt physically from some distance, such as the Haiyuan Earthquake of 1920, which had an epicenter in central China but was physically felt as far away as Norway. I used to read trivia in my spare time.
When I watched this movie with my dad, on the end scene he said "now he's going to say we rebuild or some shite" and then right after What do we do now?... WE REBUILD
Everything Wrong With Everything Wrong With San Andreas In Earthquake Minutes: 1. The "Movie Sin Counter" keeps flickering. 2. The "Movie Sin Timer" keeps flickering. 3. At 14:43: "so, here are 10 sins" - adds 1 sin. 4. 14:51 - adds 10 sins instead of 1. Ofc, I'm only messing. :P I love your vids :)
Missed Sins: Why the fuck is her car so destructive? Do you see it just wrecking the rails and shit as it goes by? That shit is meant to stop you from going over the edge. Her car should be completely torn apart. She landed right next to her phone, that doesn't have a single scratch on it, damn phones are resilient these days. She can't move forward, but sure the Rock can just rip the door off the car without it falling down. Shouldn't there be a lot lot more people freaking out that the Hoover Dam collapsed? It's the fucking Hoover Dam this thing powers Vegas so it's not only getting wrecked by Vegas and most of the Neveda area is without power. Landmarks are getting destroyed cliche. Trying to escape a city being destroyed in a limo. Not sure if this is 2012 or San Andres. One thing that pisses me off about this movie is that this earthquake doesn't feel like an earthquake from people's perspective. California is fucking separating, shouldn't people be thrown all which way and hitting fucking walls and stuff!? To further show how powerful this earthquake is, the land is rolling like it's water and the buildings are falling over like they found out they are gonna be in a movie with the Rock. California buildings are built to withstand earthquakes too that is like standard procedure. The sheer force of this should be killing people, not just shaky cam. 15:05 Not only is LA completely wrecked, but it looks fake as shit. Why is it when things are breaking or just incredibly dangerous people are always flooding the area? Did the citizens of LA find out they are gonna be in a movie with the Rock or something? This entire endeavor of the guys trying to warn of the earthquake seems irrelevant as fuck. Two cities have already fucking been destroyed and now a 'warning' has been issued. The main shit already happened and this shit isn't not going to be reported or known about.
+Johnnythat1 Dude I woulda thought the roulette tables being jammed, people betting everything in 00 'cliche' woulda been in there... hell maybe it was. Not like I have, or ever will watch this movie.
+ffejpsycho I didn't either but this is what I observed in the video and had to shut the comment down too quickly because I had to run. I just noticed as I watched this video just few things going on don't make sense to me.
@@Snagprophet I googled it. The older brother is Australian. The younger one is from Ireland. Neither are ´English.´ Explains why I felt the accent was off xD
Yep, I paused it on one of the "glitches" - to see what they said - and it's just the timecode of that moment in the video (e.g. 00'07'32) flashing up for a frame. Some error when they made the video, I guess. Bit distracting, but no biggie.
My favourite part of this movie is when he says “I see it” when theres a 70 foot tsunami right in front of him. He just acts like it magically spawned there
+Nick I'm personally not dual rated, but getting a single engine-land add on rating isn't hard at all. are you're asking if I think it should be counted as a sin? I think so, kinda falls into the 'main character knows how to do everything ever' schtick
+RingSight91 not really. the only reason to do that would be to save a little money. if you want a career in the helicopter industry, you need all the rotary wing hours you can get, fixed wing doesn't count for hardly anything
9:35 - Gotta disagree with you there...power seat controls on that final generation of the Town Car were on the driver's door panel, well out of her reach.
Everything Wrong With San Andreas Summarized in 1 Sentence: Alexandra Daddario was not in a soaking wet t-shirt or a bikini for the ENTIRE run time of the movie.
+Drake Santiago I was surprised he didn't take off some sins for all the tit jiggle. I don't think any of the main female characters owned a bra and all of their tits jiggled as the went about.
11:24 Truck owner has an M1911 for concealed carry... A) in California B) Is breaking the law C) Doesn't carry it cocked and locked. D) The pistol probably has no round chambered and the hammer isn't cocked back if it did, so that thing is a paperweight. Personally adding sins for that.
+RangerColinLZ I thought that dude stole the truck. How did you figure out he owned it? And if he's a truck thief, why would he care what the firearms laws are?
Tiny J I don't know if it was his or not, I haven't seen the movie. I was just pointing out a flaw. If he is a criminal, then yeah, he doesn't care. But he still doesn't know how to use the pistol effectively/correctly
I live in California. If an earthquake like this happened, I would carry my 1911. Cocked and locked. All laws go out the window in an epic disaster situation.
800 degrees Celsius is 8 x the boiling point of water. I know you were doing the whole 'haha, Americans dunno what Celsius is' gag but I just wanted to say that anyway
+Greg. Sym. I don't think the sin here is that he doesn't know what celsius degree is. The sin here is that something called gas prod, whatever it is is measuring the temperature of something and how can anything in helicopter reach temperature of 800 degrees and not burn the engine and possibly the crew. I know exacly what is celsius degree and i still was confused about what the hell was that supposed to be.
+Zero the Faceless Super fun at parties here: Usually engine coolant isn't water, and so has a much higher boiling point. giving the movie the benefit of doubt, the issue is that it was getting to the red line
+Greg. Sym. more a reference to how Americans or you for that matter (since you didn't get the point) aren't familiar enough with Helicopter instrumentation to know that the Gas Prod is measuring the intermediate turbine temperature (thanks Google) and as a result showing us this gauge is POINTLESS, it has jack shit to do with Celsius vs Fahrenheit argument.
You forgot to mention about how the liquor bottles didn't fall off the shelf in the restaurant and the lights still worked and about the chef catching on fire.
