i be very disappointed in this film . no and that not quite true . i do not have great expectation for this tv movie and but it do not even live up to those meager hope for a decent disaster flick . the character and for the most part and be uninteresting and whiny and unsympathetic . the special effect be not exceptionally good no good than most film today . and the story be lack in excitement and depth . in addition and the lack of destruction be 1 ) rather unbelievable and and 2 ) annoyingly sparse . after an earthquake in a city that be mostly unprepared for such an event and one would think there would be a great deal more devastation . like asteroid and godzilla and volcano and and to a less extent and dantes peak and armageddon and aftershock have relatively little in the way of physical damage . now and far be it for me to want total devastation and loss of life and but really and can not we get a little more than a few toppled and cracked old building . i realize that special effect be expensive and but to me and the director and script writer of these film do not seem to want to make any effort to make a truly disastrous film . ( one last point and ny city seem to get pick on a great deal in disaster film represent aftershock and deep impact and armageddon and godzilla and fail safe and independence day and and others such a die hard 3 and and the siege . ) .
