10.5 Apocalypse is a thrilling disaster miniseries, produced by Sony Pictures Television and directed by John Lafia, that portrays the catastrophic events that follow a massive earthquake hitting the West Coast of the United States. This sequel to the original 10.5 movie continues the story of seismologist Samantha Hill (Kim Delaney) and FEMA director Jack Walcott (Dean Cain), who team up to prevent a larger and even more devastating earthquake from destroying the whole country.

The story starts with a 7.9 magnitude earthquake striking Seattle, sending a ripple of destruction across the Pacific Northwest, including Mount Rainier, the San Andreas Fault, and the Yellowstone caldera. The government immediately mobilizes its emergency response teams, but their efforts are complicated by the fact that the president (Beau Bridges) is visiting Seattle and his wife (Melissa Sue Anderson) is trapped in the collapsed Space Needle. Meanwhile, Jack is also dealing with personal issues, as his daughter Carly (Anna Claire Sneed) is pregnant and his ex-wife (Rebecca Jenkins) is not happy about it.

As the earthquake aftershocks continue, Samantha detects a pattern of seismic activity that suggests a much larger quake is imminent. She warns Jack and the government, but her warnings fall on deaf ears as they are more focused on the immediate response. Nevertheless, Samantha is determined to find a way to stop the quake by triggering a controlled explosion in the San Andreas Fault. She enlists the help of her ex-husband Jordan (David Cubitt), a seismologist who is skeptical of her plan but willing to assist her.

The tension rises as the government grapples with the threat of the mega-quake, the president's safety, and the public's panic. The National Guard is deployed to maintain order, but they have to face looters, traffic jams, and desperate refugees. The characters' personal dramas also escalate, as Jack reunites with his daughter and ex-wife, Jordan reconnects with Samantha, and Carly faces a life-changing decision. Meanwhile, the mega-quake hits, and the country is plunged into total chaos.

Without giving away spoilers, it can be said that the special effects and set pieces in 10.5 Apocalypse are impressive and realistic, with CGI recreating the destruction of landmarks, bridges, and cities. The actors deliver solid performances, especially Delaney and Cain, who play their roles with gravitas and emotion. The script, while predictable at times, manages to balance the disaster elements with the human drama, adding some moments of humor and hope amid the tragedy.

Overall, 10.5 Apocalypse is an intense and engaging disaster epic that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. It may not be a groundbreaking or innovative story, but it delivers the thrills and emotions that fans of the genre expect. Whether you are a fan of disaster movies or just curious about what could happen if the Pacific Plate suddenly shifts, this miniseries is worth checking out.

10.5 Apocalypse is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (3 episodes). The series first aired on May 20, 2006.
