Rating:  - average movie
very average disaster movie..dialoques and scenes before earthquake are sometimes boring..there is nothing attractive for the audience...
Rating:  - An astounding, realistic piece of cinema!
This is undoubtedly one of the best natural disaster movies ever produced--much, much better than the 1974 film "Earthquake".
Oh, by the way, Mr. Michael Butts, that's Tom Skerritt that starred in the film, not Tom Selleck!
Rating: - Aftershock: Earthquake in New York real and live action
I really liked this movie and felt it was well done with much suspense and action. It was like I was part of the whole movie. It brought back for me a feeling like it could really happen. It was true to NY and the people. The action and acting was really good. I enjoyed the movie and felt its a winner.
Rating: - OUTSTANDING
This movie gives you the suspense that will keep you in your seat and focused while having that little twist of romance.
Rating: - COMMENDABLE MOVIE
It's ironic that in this 1999 film. the Twin Towers remain standing after the devastating earthquake that tumbles the powerful city to its feet. A t.v. movie originally aired on NVC, AFTERSHOCK is directed well by Mikail Solomon and has a fine cast. The script is typical vignettes of several people and how they deal with the quake, but it is well written and performed, and adds the requisite human touch to the film. The overall acting is very good: Tom Selleck as the disgruntled fire chief who is having an ongoing political battle with Mayor Charles S. Dutton; Jennifer Garner as a ballet wannabe who meets up with a Russian cabby; Sharon Lawrence is very good as a mother whose carelessness rendered her little boy an invalid; Lisa Nicole Carson as an up and coming lawyer who gets an alleged murderer off the hook only to doubt his innocence; Cicely Tyson as the feisty mayor's mother who turns a street kid into a young man; and many actors whose names I can't recall who did a fine job in the storyline.
The earthquake sequence is devastating and very convincing. The movie is one of those "feel good" movies, that works.
Not your average made for TV fare.
