What the ★■◆●?! The first one was a damn JOKE to anyone with a brain. It was ridiculed all across the internet, and now they're making a sequel?! No wonder theres nothing good on TV anymore. First it was the "reality tv" craze, and now its the return of the shitty mini-series that never should've been made. Maybe this time they'll do 10 minutes of research on google instead of 5 like they did the last time. (they admitted that)

I gave up on anything the big name entertainment companies make when they had the b411s to make a movie called "Dumb and Dumberer" as if the first one wasnt enough.

i hadn't even heard of 10.5. should i have?

it was a movie about a 10.5 earth quake that hit CL very stupid

You mean people actually still take the Sci-Fi Channel seriously?

It was on NBC last year. It was about "the big one" hitting the west coast.

Come on guys, 10.5 was one of the best mini-series to ever hit the TV!


...it was damn funny, and an unintentional parody of the disaster genre! One of the best examples of how NOT to do it...

But seriously, I couldn't wait to find out what the next stupid thing they would come up with was. Especially after that gap-in-the-ground-chasing-a-train bit. (Well, it was chasing it. It was obvious.)

Yeah, I had to fight the urge to change the channel when the gap made a right angle turn and still followed the train...and just CONVENIENTLY stopped when the train was swallowed. Don't forget the ever increasing quake strength.... It was like listening to an episode of Star Trek whenever the Enteprise got attacked. Anyone that ever payed attention in school would know thats a bunch of bull right there. The shockwave would travel like the ringwaves whenever you drop something in water, not keep getting bigger and bigger.

Yep. Utterly awesome.

1) Earthquakes opening gaps of that size in the ground anyway. Which they don't.

2) The fault line just happening to follow a train track. Exactly. Complete with turns and all that.

3) The ground opening at more or less the same speed as the train, and moving down the track - notably, nothing happens behind the tip of the forming gap, it just stays still there - instead of like, you know, all the length of the plate actually moving at once.

4) The ground suddenly stopping after swallowing the train, as someone put it, "satisfied with a job well done". Or maybe the train coincidentally -just- missed the end of the fault line? Which happened to be, apparently, a rounded point?

And, of course, we know that was only one of the hilarious screw-ups. Just the most spectacularly bad one.

Oh, EVERY disaster TV movie special HAS to have a runaway train somewhere. Its in the damn rulebook, dont you people read such things?

Don't forget them trying to fuse the fault line with nuclear warheads. Yeah, lets try to fuse a crack in the crust with high explosives. Like thats REALLY going to work.

Disaster movies are notoriously unscientific. Heck, show me a TV show that IS 100% scientific. Scientific movies are boring.

You obviously never saw the TV show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century!!!!
