You know a movie is bad when you're rooting for the wave.

I really gotta say, I didn't expected it to be that entertaining! The film has great Effects, great setpieces within this small area, good performances and the wave scene was thrilling! And I also liked the fact, that the people who die or are in danger, are all actually kind of neighbors. That makes it more personal then most other desaster movies. Just a thought in my head. :-D Despite that, the story is of course kind of tipical, so no big surprises there and I was not really emotionally moved. But for me the pros were definitely too good, to call it a bad film! I think it was quite good actually. :-)

I believe that this movie is underrated..I liked a lot of things about it and i would rate it as 7.5/10 First 45 minutes are not boring but action comes in the second part.I liked cinematography,directing and ofcourse the powerfull point of this movie is acting..Suprisingly good especially from Joner and Torp..Ok it was a little cliche like Hollywood movies but in the end in some points maybe you are going to doubt about what happens finally.

If this was a Hollywood movie, it would be mostly about boring family drama and everything exploding. As a Scandinavian movie, it's mostly about boring family drama and trying not to drown in a flooded building. I think there was a tsunami somewhere there, too, which I kind of expected to be the star. Disappointing.

This is the latest natural disaster flick from the Norway. About an inland tsunami that caused due to the landslide near the lake that based around the mountains. Kind of fresh in that perspective, because as far I remember I haven't seen a movie evo More

The Wave is an excellent Norwegian language disaster film. It centers on a geologist who is leaving town with his family for a better paying job. However, before he leaves, he suspects the mountain there may be in danger of imminent collapse. He has to convince his colleagues while there is still ti More

Some pretty darn good CGI for a smaller budget movie. And when the two guys were stuck in the crevice while it was closing?!?! I was legitimately afraid for them. I do wish we could have experienced the wave for longer but alas … that’s the nature of a tsunami. A few seconds of action and then l More
