The very day he’s about to drive his family to a new life in the city, geologist Kristian Elkjord senses something wrong with the mountain that overlooks his scenic town. No one wants to believe that this could be the big one, especially with tourist season at its peak, but when a landslide from the mountain sends tons of rock and earth crashing into the water, everyone has ten minutes to outrace the resulting tsunami to higher ground in this thrilling action spectacular.

It's true, this disaster movie is better than any Hollywood disaster film out there. Kind of a more realistic version of Dante's Peak, but without all the corny effects, & the actors were FANTASTIC, especially the main star. I think he made the movie. Loved it, & this is my favorite genre. Also creepy knowing it could really happen at any moment! Oh, & for real, do NOT even notice or care that there are subtitles in this movie. I actually thought it made it cool, & funnier when they swore in English! LOL

Can't recommend it. The pacing is mediocre. The first half is Jaws - "Lets not ruin tourist season!" It's full of cliches, right down to the tiny random fires in the rubble. And if you're here for the visuals, you will be disappointed by the dark muddy CGI. What you see in the trailer is almost the entirety of the wave itself.

Finally!! America isn't facing eminent danger but the danger is real for a small, picturesque town in Norway. The acting was quite good, the story more believable than some other disaster movies but unfortunately, as predictable as the others. I don't regret the rental and would reccomend it to anyone who enjoys these types of movies. The acting and scenery are what make this movie.
