	Media	Author	Review
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"This movie’s dumb, and its portrayal of urban devastation borders on the pornographic, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t entertained"
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Even by the non-Olympian standards of the disaster genre, San Andreas is chock-full of cliché characters, staggering coincidences and wild improbabilities"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Not even the Rock can save this complete disaster of an LA-destroyed-by-earthquake movie (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"
		Andrew Barker Variety	"California crumbles spectacularly in an action movie that quickly degenerates from blissfully stupid to fatally stupid"
		Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"By turns frightening, exciting and ridiculous, San Andreas is, in the end, more impressive than anything else"
		Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Oblivious to both narrative logic and the laws of physics, the cliché-filled San Andreas doesn’t nearly have the star power of earlier, better disaster movies (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"
		Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Not exactly earthshaking. (...) While 'San Andreas' won't exactly tip the Richter scale, it will clearly inject some fresh PG-13 action into theaters"
		Brian Truitt USA Today	"The cringeworthy dialogue and unmoving earnestness are the biggest disasters in this mostly forgettable action flick (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Not exactly earthshaking (...) B The scale of the spectacle is often disproportionate to the destruction depicted"
		Dan Jolin Empire	"If you crave Emmerich-esque disaster-porn with a mega body count, there’s plenty here to OMG at. But when it comes to character depth or plotting, San Andreas is a sadly familiar wasteland. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
