Viewing Notes

Caught this at CU Boulder with Tonia after work and dinner. I liked the family drama aspects, and even the actual quake portions but had a hard time with the “you were right the first time but we’re going to ignore your warnings again” bullshit. It also felt like a lot of the actual science explaining what was going on was cut out. Finally, I felt like the ending was too abrupt. I was expecting more catastrophe drama but nope!
