Megafault
The Asylum studios is the only place to see where a devastating destruction of earth’s crust can occur in numerous graphics-intensive hi budget settings but all at quite economical budgets.
In Megafault, Brittany Murphy plays Amy Lane, a seismologist with unparalleled expertise, who single-handedly prevents a disaster that could destroy the planet. Due to her competence, it is not uncommon for the U.S. government to verify Amy’s family is safe during an event where an entire state is in peril and people need to be ordered to take cover.
Amy’s skills are so impressive that all other teams of scientists working on this dilemma are neither shown nor mentioned within this story. Meet Amy, the one and only phenomenon a brilliant seismologist, a loving wife and mother. Not once in this generation’s lifetime would an earthquake in the year 21st century affect the strongest Nation in the world where a young, good-looking and fully functional woman called Amy Lane resides.
The military, quite literally, drags Amy and her trainer, Dr. Mark Rhodes (Bruce Davison), into the fray in order to eradicate the quake-y menace once and for all. Before long, Amy comes to understand that any or all of her family has already been affected by that Mother Nature wench, and now, gloves off, her only goal is to save America and her family.
Aided by Major Grayson (Paul Logan) whom she has accompanied to examine the quake’s genesis area Amy meets and saves Boomer (Eriq La Salle), a demolitionist who may’ve set off the earthquakes. From their chopper, they trace the course of the quake and conclude that it will be Lexington, Kentucky that is hit next. Boomer tells Amy that his grandmother lives in the city and immediately calls the military for help. Unfortunately, they come in after the fact and Boomer is short that it is his grandmother’s house explosion that he watches. Most parts of Lexington are also caught in the same, but for the moment, these are of no interest to Amy or Boomer.
The Lane family continues to chase after the quake which goes on to systematically wipe out great cities and even those whose inhabitants had something about them that was worth noticing. The quake does not seem to have a particular vendetta against Amy; however, it cannot help but effortlessly threaten her friends and family. The threat finally goes away and Amy has a happy ending knowing just how difficult love and science are and how beautiful they can be as well.
Concerning the star cast of Megafault, Brittany Murphy (a good actress) may have cast a shadow over this impressive story due to her being at the forefront of the story. Bruce Davison (Willard) does a fine job with the scientifically obnoxious talk that moves the narrative forward and lets Murphy take the lead. Eriq La Salle (Jacob’s Ladder) adds to his collection of work and manages to go through life in a dazed look of bewilderment and resignation.
The production has a little bit more budget than what one would expect from the typical cheap straight to video production due to the fact that the film was shot on 35mm and professionally sound mixed. The local Red Cross was also offered the assistance of their vehicles and medical helicopter. Everything is painted, however, with a broad brush as the usual low-budget cinematography dominates along with a creative set design which incorporates a ceiling fan as the rotor blades of the helicopter. There was also a moderation of costs in the extra casting as we see the same six people running for shelter from bombings in different American cities.
In this regard, while addressing an epic indicator of mass destruction that respects the perspective of the individual, David Latt the director is able to invest warm human emotion into the number of deeply charred pieces of wood. Most disaster films try to do too much too quickly and bombard the audience with character after character making them really care for no one, but in Megafault the opposite is in effect.
The Asylum is led by the trio of Latt, Rimawi and Bales who have their recipe for success and know how to please the fans of their creations even without hope. Access practice recalls each of the fans uses its best practice: Hollywood style over substance. The viewers or the commentaries if they have bothered to see some! agree what the important thing is the grandiosity not realism. The tens of people who run this establishment’s goal is to amuse people as best they can and yes they do fail a lot, fans can only hope that with each failure they improve their skill sets.
