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.

The Wave Audience Reviews

Pluskylang Great Film overall
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
masonfisk The Wave represents probably one of our biggest fears of the environment, a catastrophe which we, namely people of the West, didn't even know exists. Told in a dry, sober tone w/nary a recognizable superstar or humorous quip (take that future Hollywood remake!) we are thrust in a bucolic mountainous locale where an intrepid band of scientists monitor the landscape for fear of a landslide which will cause a tsunami wave killing most or all if they're not evacuated in the 10 minute allotted escape time. Putting the storytelling squarely on the intimate, the lead hero's quest to get his family to safety normalizes the spectacle rather than being swallowed by it.
anthony-a-bernardi I'd thoroughly recommend this movie. It was a classic disaster movie but without the Americanism
alexandarvulevic This movie is so bad that I had to force my self to watch it till the end. So many shitty predictable scenes. Oh my Gosh! I am still nervous. The story could be very interesting, but they destroyed it with those shitty scenes. I can not imagine that this movie has 6.7 IMDb score. I would give it 3 stars maximum! Hate it!
RoyalMela This movie is classy, and stays true to human elements. Most disaster movies, mostly San Andreas, is so predictable and over the top but this one has true realism to it. There is no super CGI, but instead uses all CGI visely and makes every second of it look great. It has the same suspense in a way Jaws has. You are afraid of things you can not see. Same goes here. Characters are mostly believable. You kind of expect what is gonna happen to whom but there are lots and lots of twists and turns you could not expect to happen, and that is one thing that keeps this movie so fresh compared to Hollywood-films.
