When Kristian goes to the fuel station, he picks up the diesel pump even though the car is (according to the badging) a Jeep Cherokee 4.0, running on petrol. He should've used a green petrol pump instead of the black diesel pump. See more »

6.5! Decent :)
28 August 2015 | by (Norway) – See all my reviews

The movie is about a geologist that discovers some weird activity in the mountains in Åkneset (Norway) They discover that unless they evacuate the whole city in time, a piece of the mountain will fall into the water and create a monster wave of 80m that will crush everything in its path. So now the geologist played by Kristoffer Joner is doing everything in his power to save his family and his beloved small town.

Short review. Great special effect, good score, good acting. Predictable script and lacks depth, but is still good enough entertainment for the whole family :) There is nothing revolutionary or new about this, but hey! Isn't it always pleasurable when things are done right?

Ps, it's also interesting that this is actually something that has happened before and might happen again!

Final thoughts...GO CHECK IT OUT!
