An average movie

This movie was not really a priority for me but since it was soon to be removed from HBO, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, I thought it was not bad at all. Indeed, I thought it was a rather well made and really spectacular disaster feature. Furthermore, once again, Dwayne Johnson displayed that he is probably the most dependable action movie star in the world. Concerning Alexandra Daddario, she might have been slightly too old to play Dwayne Johnson’s daughter and she was so gorgeous that it was almost distracting but I’m not sure if it was actually a real issue.  Concerning the story,  usually,  with this genre, they show the mayhem from various point of views by providing many characters with their own sub-plot but, here, surprisingly, they decided to focus only on one family instead. It actually worked fairly well, even if it was rather difficult to believe that a rescue pilot would be alone in this helicopter and would be allowed to use his helicopter to rescue his own family during such a major disaster instead of doing his actual job. What bothered me even more was the fact that the main character was divorced. Indeed, this family drama was just seriously generic and pedestrian and it didn’t add much to the whole thing. To conclude, in spite of its flaws, I still think it was a decent watch though and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
