SAN ANDREAS: An Analysis1. What geological inaccuracies or exaggerations did you observe in the movie?One big inaccuracy is how strong the earthquake was shown in the movie. The San Andreas Fault supposedly caused a 9+ magnitude quake, but in real life, experts say it can’t go that high. Another exaggeration was how the ground split wide open in huge cracks and how buildings instantly fell over. The giant tsunami in San Francisco was also unlikely because the San Andreas Fault is not the kind that usually causes big tsunamis.2. How did the film portray the sequence before, during, and after an earthquake?Before the earthquake, the movie showed scientists studying small tremors and trying to warn everyone. During the earthquake, there was massive destruction — roads broke, skyscrapers collapsed, and people panicked everywhere. After the quake, the story focused on how the main family tried to survive and rescue each other, with a lot of dramatic scenes using helicopters and boats.3. Do you think the role of disaster preparedness and response was shown correctly? Give examples.For me, the movie didn’t really show realistic disaster preparedness. The characters escaped danger by flying helicopters and driving boats, but normal people don’t have those. They didn’t show simple things like “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” or how to evacuate properly. They also didn’t show how first responders and community rescue teams actually help during real disasters.4. What did you learn from the movie about real-life earthquake awareness?Even if the movie was exaggerated, it reminded me that we should always be ready. It’s important to know real earthquake safety tips, like staying calm, protecting your head, and having an emergency kit. We can’t just depend on action-movie rescues — we need to know what to do ourselves when disaster strikes.5. Overall reflection:San Andreas was exciting and fun to watch, but it’s not very realistic. It’s more entertainment than an actual guide for earthquake survival. So, we should enjoy the movie but still learn the real ways to be prepared for earthquakes in real life.
