Earthquake is a 1974 American disaster film that achieved huge box-office success, continuing the disaster film genre of the 1970s where recognizable all-star casts attempt to survive life or death situations. The plot concerns the struggle for survival after a catastrophic earthquake destroys most of the city of Los Angeles, California.

To be honest I could not help but find the 1970s' "Earthquake" an overuse of the doomsday disaster genre. For some reason, the characters were not likable enough to sympathize with. The plot itself was very predictable and I would not watch again.

One of those stories that without a particularly strong plot manages to come through in a big way, due to the acting, dialog, situations and direction.

The special effects are surprisingly good, especially given that it was produced in the 70s. I does get slightly "soap-opera-ey" at points. It feels like it mostly relies on the special effects to pull it through- a natural disaster movie isnt the most original and there wasnt a lot extra in the plot.
