While this 1990 TV movie had a heap of familiar faces from both TV and movies alike from the 1980s and 1990s, then this movie wasn't particularly thrilling. And the title is somewhat of a lure.
The story is about Dr. Clare Winslow who pinpoints the location and time of a massive earthquake that will strike sunny Los Angeles.
Greanted, the TV movie is not depending on grand effects, but more on the drama and fear of an earthquake, as well as the impact such an event has on those living in an area at risk of earthquakes.
The cast list was quite nice, with a lot of familiar faces, at least to us who watched TV shows and movies during the 1980s and 1990s.
"The Big One: The Great Los Angeles Earthquake" was too slow paced for my liking and my interest was fast drifting away a couple of times throughout the 180 minutes that the TV movie ran for.
If you enjoy disaster movies, then I would suggest that you watch something else entirely. But then again, that is because I like for thrilling things to happen in a disaster movie. If you enjoy a human drama set in the face of an earthquake, perhaps this TV movie might appeal to you.
