Earthquake Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...doesn't really hold up all that well today...
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
It's a disaster movie. You know what to expect.
sbs.is
Stefan Birgir Stefans
As is tradition with 70s disaster films, the first hour is a star-studded melodrama, but then that practical effects kick in and you are in business.
Variety
Variety Staff
Mark Robson's Earthquake is an excellent dramatic exploitation extravaganza, combining brilliant special effects with a multi-character plot line which is surprisingly above average for this type film.
New York Times
Nora Sayre
For those who have a soft spot for calamity pictures, there's a sense of ritual cleansing afterward. And for some reason, it also made me hungry.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
The shaker-cam and visual effects are no doubt the best part of the film.
New Pittsburgh Courier
Althea Fonville
The sensurround system has tremendous impact as it greatly facilitates audience participation with what goes on in the film.
Los Angeles Free Press
Jacoba Atlas
Aside from accepting a poorly written script, director Mark Robson has done well with the suspense, building a tension in the first half of the film that can be cut with a knife.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
for all the bodies falling and crushed when "the big one" hits, there is never really anything at stake other than whether or not we are convinced by the effects
Greenwich Village Gazette
Eric Lurio
a masterpiece of bad moviemaking.
The Barb (Atlanta)
Steve Warren
Earthquake uses a gimmick, "Sensurround," which makes the theatre seem to tremble during the quake scenes. It's effective and makes about 10 minutes of the picture worth seeing. The rest is crudely-written formula melodrama that wastes an all-star cast.
New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Earthquake is a marathon of destruction effects, with stock characters spinning through.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Undeniably dopey yet admittedly entertaining.
Three Movie Buffs
Scott Nash
Not the greatest Disaster movie of the period, but still a fairly entertaining one.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Silly plot, one-dimensional characters, but lots of stars (Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner) and some good, Oscar-winning special effects
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
One of those big-budget splashy special effects disaster movies.
TV Guide
Awful disaster movie that combined the worst elements of soap opera with special effects (bad matte paintings and the ridiculous "Sensurround")--featuring an "all-star" cast that should have stayed home and waited for a real earthquake.
