Megafault Movie Review–Better Than I Expected
So the crew out at The Asylum dropped me a copy of Megafault, part of the Sci-Fi Channel (I will NOT call it SyFy)’s big lineup of generally horrendous disaster movies.
And as it turns out, it’s nowhere near as bad as I was expecting.
In this one, horrible science combines with B-list actors to bring us the Megafault, a geological phenomenon that suggests a never before seen fault so large it runs the breadth of the United States from roughly West Virginia to the Ring of Fire. And after a round of dynamite in some mountaintop removal work, somehow, the fault activates (they don’t really explain this well at ALL) and starts tearing hell out of the United States. So now, the government’s got to find a way to fix this before half the country is torn apart.
I say that Megafault isn’t really a bad movie; it’s just kind of confused. See, it watches like it was scripted by a really, REALLY overstimulated twelve year old who just started screaming plot elements whilst on a Mountain Dew and Pixy Stix rush.
Things seem to happen almost at random with this one, explosions, people falling into fault lines, people bursting into flame, the world’s biggest avalanche…and all of it seemingly in aid of an absolutely ridiculous core concept. It’s fun, just like watching that overstimulated twelve year old run around would be fun. But you wouldn’t want to have to take him home with you either.
Thus, the Screenhead Ten Scale admits that it had a good if confused time, ignores the godawful science involved with this (seriously, even Doctor Venture would know this was a dumb idea) and gives it a fair-enough six out of ten.

This movie was TERRIBLE!!! What has happened to Britany Murphy?! Her acting is retarded. She looks awful, like she’s on some major drugs. I had to turn this movie off after the first 10 minutes of painfully watching it. I will never watch another movie that has Britany Murphy in it. I am sure I am not the only one who thinks this low of her!
I did not like the show it was so bad. I wish that people would think out a plot before they make it into a movie. This was like a 70′s B movie gone bad, bad acting!
Nu e chiar asa de slab. Filmul a fost facut la comanda canal SyFy in USA cu un buget modest. Este adevarat prestatia unor actori bine cotati ca B. Murphy si B. Davison a fost modesta, dar tot asa de adevarat este ca Eriq La Salle si Justin Hartley si-au depasit cu mult conditia. Se pune intrebarea daca ar fi beneficiat de resurse mai generoase financiar(ca 2012) si de o distributie cu cateva staruri de prima marime oare nu devenea un blockbuster? Eu cred ca da. Oricum cu actualele cutremure din Haiti si Chile, se pare ca tema a devenit de mare actualitate si producatorii o vor exploata la cote mai inalte, poate chiar in 3D.
