Great Fun! Definitely a "B" Disaster Film!

I absolutely loved this movie! I don't want to say anything that will give the storyline away or anything that will give away the whole "feel" of this movie, except to say that it is definitely a "B" rated Disaster Flick - meaning, for example, that during some of the destruction sequences, it is SO obvious that models were used instead of the real thing or CGI! It's almost comical! 'Nuff said in that regard. One thing on this point though, they did a GREAT job "personalizing" the force of the earthquakes. It began to feel like the earthquakes were out to get the players in the story - rather than just being random forces of nature - they portrayed "intentionality" - it was cool!
I first borrowed "10.5" from a friend and I liked it so much that I bought one for myself on eBay. As I was searching for "10.5" on eBay - I also discovered that there is a sequel to this movie ("10.5 Apocalypse") - which I also bought on eBay - and I loved that one too! But, that is a separate review.
A notable and praiseworthy performance is given by Beau Bridges as the President of the United States. His concern for the people of the US - under his care - deepens as the seriousness of the situation increases and it is entirely believable!
This movie must have originally played on TV because there are pauses which must have been for commercials. If you are not looking for a Disaster Movie that takes itself too seriously, I think you'll like "10.5".
