Editorial Review: Description: Charlton Heston leads an all-star cast in an epic film about ordinary citizens who must come together in the face of an unstoppable natural disaster! When the most catastrophic earthquake of all time rips through Southern California, it levels Los Angeles and sends shockwaves through the lives of all who live there. Now strangers must become heroes as the city struggles to get to its feet before the next terrifying aftershock hits! Also starring Ava Gardner, George Kennedy, Lorne Greene, Victoria Principal, Genevieve Bujold and Richard Roundtree, Earthquake combines outstanding performances with Academy Award-winning sound and groundbreaking special effects. Amazon.com: The disaster-movie trend of the early and mid-1970s was starting to wear out its welcome when Earthquake was released in 1974. It’s another one of those enjoyably mindless all-star marathons, and the title tells you all you need to know about the plot. Charlton Heston offers his trademark brand of macho courage as the citizens of Los Angeles brace for the Big One--an earthquake that rattles the city to its crumbling foundation. It's got all the sophistication of a Love Boat episode, but the movie's momentum scores high marks (at least on the Richter scale), and the Oscar-winning sound design and special visual effects are still impressive, especially when you consider that advanced computer-graphics effects were still two decades in the future. Genevieve Bujold adds a touch of class to the all-star ensemble, and of course, what self-respecting disaster flick would be complete without a role for George Kennedy? In more ways than one, this cheesy movie rocks! (If you want to re-create the movie's original sound process known as "Sensurround," you’ll just have to crank up the bass and subwoofer on your home theater system until plaster cracks and windows shatter!) --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:

I am a big scifi and fantasy customer and, so far, I have been able to find everything I am looking for, old and new. These dvds are not only of excellent quality but the prices are great. I've stopped shopping in stores for my dvds. It's so easy to just click online and shop from home. Rating: - Do Not Buy This DVD (Universal is Lazy)The VHS version of this film is 2 hours & 3 minutes. This version is 1 hour and 23 minutes. Universal cut a hugh part of this film out. Do NOT buy this version, make lazy universal release the FULL FILM on dvd. Rating: - Not bad But Not That Good EitherThis motion picture was released in the USA on November 15 1974 starring Charlton Heston as Stewart Graff, Ava Gardner Remy Royce Graff, George Kennedy as Sergeant Lew Slade, and Lorne Greene as Sam Royce.

Stewart Graff is working out when he's being harassed by his wife Remy. Stewart works for Remy dad Sam Royce who owns a big contractor company. ...

They fail to realize the potential revenue that can be made from these classic films. The picture quality is pretty good for a 70's movie but the movie is still heavily edited from the original version. There are so many scenes missing I couldn't even begin to list them all. There are NO extras, not even a trailer! The DVD was so poorly authored there is not even an audio or chapter menu! The sensuuround audio track is ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
