Movie Review: Disaster Movie 'Shattered Earth' Isn't A Disaster

Watch The Trailer For The Epic Disaster-Thriller ‘Shattered Earth’ – Out This August

The only genre I love as much as horror is disaster movies. Maybe I just want to watch the world burn (on TV).

In the film, “A peaceful town turns into a living hell when a devastating earthquake is triggered, causing buildings to tumble and sinkholes to open. A retired railway soldier and his son, an explosives engineer, travel deep into a cave to rescue trapped survivors. However, a second terrifying quake is just hours away, threatening to bury the whole town and everyone in it.” Trinity CineAsia presents the action-packed disaster film, Shattered Earth, coming to DVD on August 29, 2022, and 0n Digital on September 12th.
