Asylum made a great movie! Surely the end is nigh.OK ,lets begin this review. First,Asylum had somewhat of a larger budget than usual which really helps! The daughter was NOT a bratty slut who the audience hopes doesn't survive.She was maybe a little understated and had few lines but she was likable.The Mom/Seismologist.She was great! She WAS the movie.The acting by everyone involved was excellent.The elderly couple in the hotel were adorable and their story touching.The boyfriend was smart and real..not perfect but REAL and decent.The dialogue throughout the movie may have been standard at times but it was presented well and flowed.The action was super fun.Predictable at times but I found myself routing for the main characters.The special effects were above average for Asylum..no cheese in this movie.There was no prolonged drama queen scenes or soap opera like moments common in so many movies that end up with bad reviews.No wooden acting.No fake explosions.No dragged out "we don't believe you" scenes when the seismologist demands they take her seriously.Not a lot of stupidity in this one.I usually shut these kinds of movies off because of the stupidity.Sure the whole movie has been done before...but I watched it from beginning to end without getting frustrated once.In fact this movie beats out most SYFY channel movies I've seen in along time.I won't expect Asylum to always put out a watchable movie in the future..but I do think they are upping their own ante.Job well done!I give it 8 stars because I want to balance out all the bad reviews this one will get because its Asylum and called Andreas Quake.
