Everything Wrong With San Andreas In Earthquake Minutes

You forgot that Dwayne, a rock type, supposedly suvives both earthquake and surf, both of which are super effective against him.

I love how the movies always turn dwayne johnson into superman and they make him survive anything because he is too muscular🦾

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.

"Objects in mirror may be more divorced than they appear" is what got me to die laughing!

Biggest sin is the disappointment when finding out this wasn't a GTA movie.

is the timer and sin counter flickering for anyone else?

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 know this guy gets a ton of views, but to me he's still criminally underrated in terms of how rapid-fire brilliant his sense of humor is.

The old couple that died on the bridge was sad

Where's a sin for: ""Mr Fantastic is not using his powers in this scene"

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

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.

"So here are ten sins" (adds only 1 sin)

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.

13:54 killed me. Like actually, what were the script writers thinking

Whenever I see Dwayne Johnson in the cast of a movie I always assume that Alexandra Daddario is also casted.

I have no idea why the timer is flashy at points. That's really, really weird. But... too late to fix it now! :)

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 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.

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.
