{television} 10.5 apocalypse (2006)

A jolted West Coast deals with the deadly aftereffects of a massive tremor in this sequel to the disaster drama 10.5. Concerned that a widening fault line may set off two nuclear reactors, seismologist Samantha Hill (Kim Delaney) contacts the president (Beau Bridges). Assembling an expert rescue team, they search for the one man who can help them: Samantha's father (Frank Langella), a scientist who predicted this catastrophe. Dean Cain co-stars.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: ** (Actually 2.5) As with the original, this would have been much better served as a two-hour movie instead of a three-hour mini-series. 10.5 was better than this sequel. The scientific analysis moments in the USGS and the fault destruction scenes were cool. However, the disaster recovery scenes in Las Vegas were boring.
