Definitely the cheesiest disaster movie of all time! Charlton Heston absolutely hams it up (ala "Ben-Hur") as a construction engineer, Ava Gardner plays his wife....and Lorne Greene's daughter (?!), Genevieve  Bujold pouts about as Heston's tarty mistress and George Kennedy is the cop  with a heart (there's always one). A devastating quake finally hits LA.  Things begin to shake, rattle and roll - especially busty Victoria  Principal (in a really bad afro wig). The best part of this movie is  watching LA crumble. Some of the quake effects are great - others are  embarrassing. Still, it's still a fun disaster flick to watch. This  reviewer would have given an extra star had the DVD included Dolby Digital  Surround sound. Why show "Earthquake" in mono?
