Although theorised, no one is really ready when a mountain pass above the scenic and narrow Geiranger fjord in Norway collapses and creates a tsunami over 300 feet high. A geologist is one of those caught in the middle of it.

Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
snaxxx I was eager to watch this movie after reading all the raving reviews. I must admit, I was less than impressed overall and start to believe that most of the positive reviews must have been from overly zealous Norwegians. The film itself is just another bland disaster movie with lots of cliches, people being super dumb in their actions (presumably, people behaving cleverly would make less of a drama). Anyhow, 3 out of 10. Nothing new under the sun and nothing particularly exciting.
Denis I would have given a solid 8 or 9 if it just stopped when the wave, hit before that was a nice well acted little disaster flick with the most spectacular scenery.Then.....a rapid descent into unbelievable cliché BS,watch until the wave after that the frustration with stupidity is overwhelming
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.
arinkeskin An amazingly well done movie for a not so big budget. You will find yourself questioning ethics, family vs humanity, and fear vs hope.There are some small nuances to cliché scenes that make a difference in the overall experience. These nuances are why I love foreign movies. What I mean is that some events are left open just like in life not everything gets to a resolution.
