Earthquake Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation

Disaster films wore out their welcome after a few years, and Airplane! 's parody signaled the end of their run. But they made a comeback in the Nineties with the twin volcano films, Dante's Peak and Volcano, and then the twin meteor films, Deep Impact and Armageddon. Still, once computer graphics took over, nothing was ever the same. As cheesy as some of their effects look now, there was something ineffably authentic about the original crop from the Seventies that later entries have yet to capture. So, in spite of less than perfect video, recommended.
