Max is a great family film, touching and special. But, its acting is pretty obscure.

Rate: B+

San Andreas (2015)

San Andreas Review-
Has great action and special effects. And a great ensemble. But its screenplay lacks in making the story more gripping and thrilling.

Directed By: Brad Peyton

MPAA Rating: PG-13(for intense disaster action and mayhem throughout, and brief strong language)

Runtime: 1 Hr. 54 Min.

Synopsis: 
  In this high-octane thriller, the infamous San Andreas Fault gives way, producing a devastating earthquake across California.
