Killer Quake is a killer movie. by C. Barker (East Texas)  5 Stars
May 21, 2007
I teach geology at a university and this is the best movie I've found on earthquakes. Production values are highest quality, professional level. This is a NOVA production with great footage, editing, writing, narration, historical overview of quakes in California, plus in-depth coverage of the Northridge quake of 1994 (?). Makes you feel like you are right there experiencing the quake and it's aftermath. Very highly recommended.
