When a major earthquake hits the US, it triggers a continental breakup. Dr. Cami Weddle (played by Morris) races to find out what caused the disaster and keep her family – Eric (Morrow) and Emily (Gold) – safe. Her investigation is complicated by her ex-husband, Alan (Bruno), who might be connected to the events.

The ex-couple needs to work together to prevent a catastrophe, but it may already be too late. The damage is starting to affect cities everywhere.

Verdict on Continental Split

Recap

I was on the edge of my seat watching this movie! It’s about a terrifying situation where the United States is literally coming apart, and a team of scientists is desperately trying to figure out how to stop it. The catch? They don’t always get along, and they have to learn to work together if they want to save the country.

Best Parts

This disaster feels like a critical turning point, a race against time to prevent widespread global changes. It also highlights the many different factors that can contribute to environmental shifts.

Worst Parts

This movie doesn’t bring anything fresh to the disaster genre, and it’s almost comical how a single family ends up doing all the work to save everyone. The acting and special effects aren’t particularly impressive either. The biggest problem, though, is that the world feels empty – it’s only our characters reacting to the disaster, and there’s no sense of a larger population trying to escape or cope.

Final ThoughtsContinental Split is a by-the-book disaster movie.
