Critics Sentiment
Historic 9.6 earthquake strikes San Francisco creating massive devastation
Daniel cowardly abandons Blake trapped in collapsing parking garage
The film jumps from Daniel's cowardly abandonment of Blake to the spectacular San Francisco earthquake, moving from character disappointment to visual spectacle.
San Andreas follows a classic disaster movie arc that builds from personal drama to spectacular destruction. Critics consistently praised the visual effects and destruction sequences while finding the character development and dialogue formulaic. The film peaks during the major earthquake sequences in Los Angeles and San Francisco, but loses momentum during character-focused moments and the patriotic ending.
