“San Andreas”

San Andreas is a disaster film directed by Brad Peyton that was released in 2015. The
story revolves around a cataclysmic earthquake triggered by the San Andreas Fault that strikes
the San Francisco Bay Area. San Andreas is unlike other natural disaster movies in that it
includes not just massive destruction but also passionate romance and character development.
Ray's tumultuous home life is seen in scenes where he and his wife, Emma, are going through a
divorce. Emma makes a jerk move and dumps Ray for a stunning architect named Daniel in the
film's spicy drama. Ray's daughter nearly drowns after several more earthquake clips and a
tsunami, but he manages to rescue her through CPR without drowning her again with his tears.
It's a good film, but the earthquake's effect is a little too catastrophic, which we don't want to
happen. The throng of individuals attempting to forecast the earthquake is the first thing I notice.
There's also a scene where one of them says the Richter scale, or that he refers to the
earthquake's magnitude as Richter Magnitude. San Andreas has one of the worst faults. Making
it prone to a massive earthquake. Also, the San Andreas fault is now open. There would be no
friction if the San Andreas Fault could open out to the degree depicted in the film, yet friction is
what causes earthquakes. The Hoover Dam was destroyed based on the movie, but the
earthquake was only 7.1 magnitude (in Nevada). I think that is not a convincing magnitude to
destroy the Hoover Dam. A land earthquake can never trigger a tsunami and the large tsunami is
about 50 ft. In the movie, the tsunami was about 100ft, washing over the golden gateway bridges
roadway, which is 270 ft above the water. After major earthquakes, there were plenty of smaller
earthquakes. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that occur after a major earthquake. They can
happen immediately after a severe quake, or even decades afterwards.

They somehow managed to do "DROP, COVER, and HOLD" in the movie.

It is one of the actual parts in the movie where they showed that it must be used if an earthquake
or tsunami is approaching. They also show some tips how to prepare and survive and what to do
in this kind of disaster.
However, most people panicked when a tsunami struck the Golden Gate Bridge, causing people
to flee everywhere, and when an earthquake struck the Hoover Dam.
Well, if I were in their shoes, I would panic as well, but not to the point of harming myself. Over
all the movie is good and impressive because of the graphics, effects etc. but some of the scene is
inaccurate in real life.
