The Wave

ActionThrillerDrama

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. From TMDB

    Good morning friends and happy #LetterboxdFriday! An interesting week; Lenore & The Wave are the sort of unpolished gems I love to find. Alpha made Josh go "wow" and I got a giggle out of Marple turning up in a Poirot movie! #LastFourWatched #Actionsky #horrorsky #whodunnit

    I just figured something out... If you play a smooth jazz station like 94.7 The Wave, and you squint your eyes just so, you can pretend you're in an '80s movie and the New York City streets are slick with rain and Melanie Griffith is your friend who just showed up in a suit with shoulder pads.

    Pokemon Movie 8: Mew and the Wave Hero: Lucario (Rewatch) I now remember this movie was likely a factor in why I thought Lucario was super cool way back when. Another fun adventure, though there's not much else to say. However, the fuckass Regi noises were great to hear again after all this time.

    Not that it matters*, but I feel like the director of TROLL (2022) may have seen TROLL 2 (1990). For example: he made this in 1993. *I also like director Roar Uthaug’s TOMB RAIDER and was mostly into his 2015 disaster movie THE WAVE. Still need to see his well-liked thriller COLD PREY (2006)

    "You traded your freedom for the luxury of feeling superior" The Wave (1981; www.youtube.com/watch?v=D55L...) is a film that documents the experiment "The Third Wave" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thi... ) that explores how the German public came to accept the actions of the Nazi regime.

    Based on what might be a real scenario, we find ourselves in a pretty Norwegian fjord town that might be in danger from a tsunami. How? Well, apparently there are millions of tons of rock precariously situated on the mountainside that are likely to eventually slide down into the water and create a monumental tidal wave. There are loads of early warning systems in place and that's lucky for geologist "Kristian" (Kristoffer Joner) and his family. His wife works in the local hotel and his children…

    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 lots and lots of devastation. ¯\(ツ)/¯ One of the better disaster movies overall. Straightforward, good acting, and not overwhelmed with bad CGI.

    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 time for escape. When his worst fears come true, the town's inhabitants have 10 minutes to escape. Chaos then occurs as everyone tries to escape and the geologist tries to save his family. The movie…
