If the San Andreas Fault finally gave and triggered a magnitude 9 earthquake in California, what would you do? Would you cower and freeze up or would you take action, ride on adrenaline, jump from crumbling rooftops and fight for your life by helicopter, plane, truck or speedboat?
Well Emma (Carla Gugino) and Blake (Alexandra Daddario), the leading ladies in "San Andreas," chose the latter, proving that there are no damsels in distress in this action thriller!
All in all "San Andreas" will entertain audiences looking for escapism. However, that is all it is, a means of escaping reality and the difficulties of life. However, if an audience member had ever experienced a natural disaster, this is a movie that will surely infuriate and question why this even allowed to be made.
"San Andreas" star and Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti can now add seismologist to his diverse list of movie roles. However, this time around his takeaway is very different -- that Mother Nature is an absolute force to be reckoned with and that her seismic energy shouldn't be taken lightly.
Latin Post caught up with Giamatti in an exclusive interview in Los Angeles, where the film "San Andreas" is based, and spoke with him about his latest role as Lawrence Hayes, a leading Caltech seismologist who believes he's found a way to track earthquakes before they happen and knows the worst is yet to come.
"All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray. I've been for a walk on a winter's day. I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.; California dreamin' on such a winter's day. -- "California Dreamin'" by The Mamas & The Papas
Would you really be "safe and warm" if you were in L.A.? Not if the San Andreas Fault gives and triggers a magnitude 9-plus earthquake in "The Golden State" of California. Yet on the other hand, if you had Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a first responder, you just might have a chance.
