Great suspense and action. And great actors.
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I would recommend this to a friendI had this in vhs format. Unfortunately it did not make the move. I have been looking and looking for this in dvd format and was so glad to see it on the Best Buy website. Charleton Heston is great as are all the other familiar (now gone) actors and actresses. The special effects are still so real, I wonder how they would be with the more modern special effects now available. The storyline is so real as this could actually happen. Actually some minor earthquakes have already happened.

Irwin Allen Classic
|Posted .Still holds up after all these years. Yes, there is some of the 70s schlock, like soap-opera plot lines, overacting, and what are now considered stereotype characters. But it is still suspenseful and entertaining. The special effects remain impressive, especially considering they involve physical models since they had no CGI. A few are cheesy, but that's okay. I remember seeing it in Sensurround in the theater, which involved installing extra subwoofers for enhanced low frequency rumble, which is just what you need with an earthquake movie, right? Well, it was a mildly amusing gimmick in the theater, and not very convincing. You don't miss it here. And, it's good to see many stars in their earlier years, although Ava Gardner looked old and stretched. Her overly dramatic acting didn't help, either, considering hers was not a very likable character to begin with. In many ways, Earthquake helped set the stage for more modern epic disaster movies, so it is well worth seeing to get some perspective on how this genre has evolved.

Earthquake is a great classic disaster movie.
|Posted .With todays lack of quality movies Earthquake is one of the diamonds in the rough. I love the disaster movies of old, and couldn't wait to get my hands on this. Unfortunately, I had to because it was not available at my local BestBuy store. I still managed to get it from BestBuy Online, and I have not been dissatisfied at all with this purchase. I'm just waiting for The Towering Inferno to come out on Blu-Ray. That will definitely be a must buy; and if it does come out I hope they will supply the stores with it.
