San Andreas (2015)
San Andreas is a disaster movie that leans into sci-fi territory with its depiction of cataclysmic seismic events. Dwayne Johnson plays Ray Gaines, a Los Angeles Fire Department rescue pilot, who must navigate the chaos of a series of massive earthquakes that threaten to destroy California. As buildings crumble and the ground splits open, Gaines races to save his estranged wife and daughter from the devastation.
The film excels in its visual spectacle, with CGI sequences that vividly depict the destruction of iconic landmarks and entire cities. Johnson’s physicality and charm ground the larger-than-life action, giving the film heart amid the chaos. While San Andreas follows a familiar disaster-movie formula, Johnson’s presence elevates the film, making it an exciting ride through a sci-fi-fueled natural disaster.
