None of the characters have any depth, back story, or motive. The dialog was written by a child. The entire movie lacked any action. It was like watching a rock and waiting for it to move.
1. Dr. David Kotzman returns from the expedition where he and Dr. Aldaron found some cave paintings. He walks into Dr. Veet's office and asks him, "What happened down there?". Really? Dr. Veet didn't go on the expedition, how would he know anything more than Dr. Kotzman?
2. Nerds in love, AJ Carmichael and Phillip (no last name) sit in a truck and ask each other, "You got any family?". Not only are they both without living relatives, they both are dirt-bags when it comes to pets.
3. Both Sophie and her daughter Bryn show no remorse for the dearly departed spouse and father. I suppose they knew Dr. David Kotzman was replacement dad. Also Bryn is said to be 8 but the actress at the time of filming was 12 and it really shows.
4. Pointless, dull, and dimwitted is the only way to describe the action or suspense. At the beginning some lifeless characters are tossed about in a quake. One man falls into the crack after warning others to stay back. The climactic ending is people running for a door as a timer reaches zero. Dull conversation and news stories cover events without disaster.
5. Science is never wrong, is said too much in this movie. Almost as much as the title is mentioned. Science is not wrong or right. The line isn't used to make any point other than, to tell the audience, "This movie is never wrong.". To illustrate; I have issue on one scene, where the nerds are typing on a PC in a building without power to restore the power. I don't know how to restore power to office buildings, but I don't think you run upstairs and type on a PC. I would think it requires maintenance men to go fix and repair fuses and wires in someplace like the basement?
I watched this on Netflix because I was bored. I need to remember to cancel my Netflix account.
