The aura of the San Andreas fault was as big as Hollywood in my growing-up days due to my and my friends', (Srini, Ravi (my name is Ravichandran ;)) and a few more at school), obsession with Alistair Maclean novels.
After watching the movie, 'San Andreas' (and even while the propaganda campaign was on in Facebook), I did have a feeling that had they heeded the Macelean-esque style of hamming, with dramatic, crisp and witty dialogues, it would have fitted the Rock's own quirky style.
The film is not a disappointment by any standards (the 'father-daughter' (Alexandra) love is almost a take-off from where the 'Taken' duo had left off.) and a much more tolerable movie than many who have reviewed it - as a copy of '2012'.
This movie has lots of humane elements that a tragedy (by modern standards) usually has and as I began to muse on how on Earth were they going to end the movie, the wife (Carla Gugino) says, "So, what are gonna do now?" at the end ;) and here the rest of the cast and the filmmaker missed a dramatic moment of togetherness as if they had not been told what to do. :D
A watch-able movie and in 3-D, it really makes for an enjoyable evening out.
Footnote: San Andreas by Alistair Maclean is a novel.
