geologist realize a big earthquake be come but no one will listen . whats bad be his father in law have predict the 1923 tokyo disaster and he be call unworthy to be his successor . of course the big one come and tokyo be knock flat . a poorly dub japanese film that be pure soap opera for the first half . the second half after the earthquake destroy a model city it an escape drama . there be some nice moment but the film waste them either by undercut the action by too many poor miniature or by have people do unreal thing . hokey and not very good it have an end you would not believe .
