PodBill Just what I expected
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
disdressed12 i just couldn't get all that excited about this movie.i mean,there are a few scenes of tidal waves,which look okay,i guess,but not spectacular.to me,,the parts of the movie involving the 2 main characters,seemed like an episode of moonlighting,more than anything else.and overall,the movie is the 2 characters trying to solve a mystery.there is an interesting angle in the movie,which i won't give away here.and as i mentioned earlier in a comment on'Killer Flood:the Day the Damn Broke',i had just watched 2 big budget disaster movies,'10.5'and its sequel '10.5:Apocalypse,which are to me,the best disaster movies i have seen so far.i guess 'Tidal Wave.No Escape',is about average,so 5/10 is my rating
Michael O'Keefe This made-for-TV drama is near being a disaster itself. The story line is just not believable enough to get very excited about. The CGI tsunamis look cool, but not fearsome. When destructive tidal waves put the coast of California in harm's way; retired weapons expert and Nobel Prize winner John Wahl(Corbin Bernsen)is suspected of instigating the peril. Oceanographer Jessica Weaver(Julianne Phillips)is about the only one in the scientific community to feel differently and offers to help Wahl prove his innocence.Bernsen does the best he can; and Phillips is definitely nice to look at. The two are just not enough to make this movie any better than it is. Rounding out the cast are: Harve Presnell, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs and Gregg Henry, who is so easy to dislike. The surf may be up; but the urge to hit the beach is just not there.
OrangePineapples This movie was definitely the funniest movie I have ever seen. I laughed until I cried. Now, this movie wasn't meant to be funny, but the special effects were so awful, and the acting so atrocious, you can't help but think this movie is hilarious.Not to mention how cliché this movie becomes. You can see everything coming. There were some great one-liners as well, such as "Is your beer getting warm?" Pure genius.The premise of the movie is extremely funny as well, and if you're looking for a good laugh at a bad movie, this is the ultimate movie for it.10/10.
fury21 What a load of rubbish! Oh no..someones causing huge tidal waves...oh the horror.I saw a trailer for this on TV and i thought "ok this looks interesting". How wrong i was. After the first half hour i was screaming til blue in the face "WHY WONT YOU DIE!!!!" For a TV movie, the special effects were ok, but could have been better- i just didnt believe the Waves crashing ashore. The acting was very wooden. But then Corbin Bernsen was the lead- i saw him in "The Dentist"- that was also rubbish. Warning: SPOILER- i thought the idea of the Old man Scientist causing the waves highly unbelievable.I warn you....dont expect to like this. Its the sort of movie you waould watch if you cant get to sleep. If you crave disaster and death then you would probably enjoy this....i, however, Certainly did not.Dont waste your time or your money.
