I&#8217;m not sure what it is about disaster flicks in particular that do it. Maybe it&#8217;s the extreme circumstances that so effortlessly whisk me away from my own stresses and immerse me in a mess of chaos, claimed opportunities for heroism (or cowardice), and pure, cinematic visual spectacle. While there are some <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/32-crazy-disaster-movies-us-143350667.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:films within the genre;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">films within the genre<\/a> that even I can&#8217;t defend (despite them still being guilty pleasures), Brad Peyton&#8217;s <em>San Andreas<\/em> isn\u2019t really one of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Am I going to try to say this movie about a catastrophic earthquake wreaking havoc on San Francisco is top-tier cinema? No. But for a fun popcorn flick (now streaming with a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tech.yahoo.com\/streaming\/articles\/netflix-subscription-plans-price-included-174717448.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Netflix subscription;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Netflix subscription<\/a>), it really gives us everything. What&#8217;s more, it checks all the boxes for disaster movie tropes, so I love seeing the 2015 movie trending on Netflix among some of the newer releases like <em>K-Pop Demon Hunters<\/em> and <em>28 Years Later<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Alexandra Daddario looking scared on the ground in San Andreas\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/SxMZsQtevdqLwKZ7E8fWIw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/9aa7ed94856408bcd9dc311f055fc604\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: Warner Bros<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">San Andreas Has A Bit Of Everything<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the movie grabbed my inner Swiftie&#8217;s attention with a vice grip the first time I hit play on <em>San Andreas <\/em>the moment Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8220;Style&#8221; can be heard on the car radio in the opening scene, it held my attention with its non-stop action and massive, terrifying visuals of earthquake disaster, and the story of a heroic dad trying to save his family, both literally and in the more figurative sense. There&#8217;s also its pretty fantastic cast, which includes Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Ioan Gruffudd, and Paul Giamatti among them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While we all need to see an earthquake try to go up against the Rock in a movie, I have to imagine Paul Giamatti&#8217;s talents could\u2019ve been put to better use in 2015.

It&#8217;s not meant to be that deep, and these movies typically offer up a buffet of familiar themes and visuals on which we can feast. I&#8217;m talking about heroic sacrifices, beautiful people in danger, mass destruction, last-minute catastrophe predictions being delivered on graphs and charts, and maybe even a redemption arc or two. <em>San Andreas<\/em> has all of that, and it throws in one of my favorite tropes, which is the jerk character who steps down while the heroes are stepping up &#8212; the character you kind of want to see get a heaping dose of comeuppance before the credits roll.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There&#8217;s also the family element in <em>San Andreas<\/em>, as we&#8217;re brought into this disaster mid-way through a broken family&#8217;s attempts to heal following a terrible loss, which gives us even more reason to root for the Gaines family, not only to survive this nightmare ordeal, but to come out of it reunited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There are some popcorn flicks that I rewatch and realize aren&#8217;t as good as I remembered them to be.
