Reminder: 10.5 on NBC Tonight!

Brent - thanks.

What I couldn't get over was how much older Kim Delaney looked since she starred in the original movie. As I watched parts of it, I kept thinking that. She reminds me so much of Courteney Cox too.

The camera man I swear, was a 9th grade Audio/Visual student..did you watch the camera, shaking, panning in, BAD close ups, sudden jerks, no, not during the earthquake scenes, in the STILL scenes "LOL!"

Must have been the same cameraman for the sequel.

I tuned in for a couple of minutes and couldn't stand it! Every shot, every angle -- the camera would focus on a person as he or she was speaking, then zoom in...just a little bit...as if for added dramatic effect or something. That would be fine if it was just every once in a while. But it was constant! Zoom, zoom, zip, zoom, pan, zoom! It was really distracting.

I'm guessing they're trying to put a dramatic feel to it, if so, they're doing a crappy job. There's already enough drama as it is in that movie.

Part 2 did REALLY bad... even worse than Part 1.

Even worse was NBC’s combination of two episodes (original and repeat) of Most Outrageous Moments (Overnights: #4, 3.6/ 5; Viewers: #4, 5.12 million; A18-49: #4, 1.7/ 5 from 8-9 p.m.), and the conclusion of 10.5: Apocalypse (Overnights: 5.0/ 8; Viewers: #4, 6.49 million; A18-49: #4, 2.2/ 6 from 9-11 p.m.).

They did not show enough for the end. In had way to many breaks.

I missed the second part. I hope they show it again soon. Love disaster movies even when they stink.

I'll admit it, so do I. The plots are almost always the same - a couple who belong together but are separated or divorced but before the movie ends, they reunite. An estranged parent/adult child or sibling relationship that also is mended before the movie is over. One expert who predicts the tragedy and no one will listen. Or someone in authority goes way out on a limb to listen, from long ago loyalty to that expert (childhood friend, college buddy, ex-spouse, etc.). Facing criticism from his peers (ie employees, comrades). What else.....absurd geographical things happen.

But I get sucked in each and every time.

My best example of the absurd is the Towering Inferno. When they blow up the water tanks on a top floor, the force of this water extinguishes the fire. Oh sure, that would happen!
