adonis98-743-186503 Although anticipated, no one is really ready when the mountain pass above the scenic, narrow Norwegian fjord Geiranger collapses and creates an 85-meter high violent tsunami. A geologist is one of those caught in the middle of it. Bølgen (or also known as The Wave) suffers from an overstuffed plot and a mix of different genres like action, disaster and drama and to be honest i had more fun with films like Armageddon, Volcano and even Geostorm than this film. The perfomances were also not that good either and i didn't get invested with any of the leading characters or the others as a whole. Better skip it and see something else!!!

Wizard-8 You might never think that Scandinavian filmmakers would ever tackle the disaster film genre, but if a ninja movie managed to come out of Sweden (the 1984 movie "The Ninja Mission", if you are curious), then anything is possible. It was certainly an ambitious effort, and while the end results are nothing spectacular, it is an okay 105 minute diversion... if you are in the right mood. If you are looking for a fast pace and constant action, you will most likely be very disappointed. The first half of the movie moves very slowly, with no real action of any kind. Once the disaster does hit, things do pick up a little, though even then there is a significant lack of real tension and action for the most part. But the movie has its strengths. It looks pretty slick and polished for the most part, able to stand its head proudly against big budget Hollywood movies. And it chooses an interesting angle, being that it's a much more realistic take on a disaster than you usually get in Hollywood disaster movies. The characters are more realistic, their actions are more believable, and the various plot turns feel plausible. This is certainly not a disaster movie for everybody - it may quickly tire and bore those looking for popcorn entertainment. But if you are curious to see a more believable cinematic portrayal of a disaster - and you are in a patient mood - you'll probably find it a decent watch.

prince movie A Norwegian geologist (Kristoffer Joner) and his family (Ane Dahl Torp, Jonas Hoff Oftebro) fight for survival when a massive landslide causes a 250-foot tidal wave.The story is somehow similar to (The Impossible 2012), but the screenplay was perfect due to its realistic. The drama is more than the thriller in the film. The shooting was amazing showing all stunning places in the valley and city in mountains. Good acting was presented by Kristoffer Joner.

merklekranz The science leading up to the mountain landslide and resulting tsunami, is far more interesting than the questionable survival techniques that follow. The beginning has breathtaking scenery and is almost all in daylight. Once the impressive c.g.i. tsunami is over, things shift into closeup images in almost total darkness, and the believability scale descends dramatically. I would say that the chances of an ending like we witness is many millions to one. Nowhere is the hypothermia factor even mentioned. Being submerged in what must be frigid fjord water for even a few minutes would most likely be fatal. "The Wave" is not a bad movie, it is just a film that stretches things a bit far. If you can look beyond that, then it is a movie worth watching. - MERK
