Robert P @Superbad Oct 10, 2026 The Wave is a 3.5 Star Movie!!! See more Frederick B @Frederick212 Jun 21, 2026 Extremely predictable and cheesy. It would have been better if the dad would have died. Or, at least, somebody in his family. As it stands, it's like an episode of Focus on the Family. What happened ro all the great Scandinavian intellectual filmmakers like Bergman?

As some critics have commented, it's similar to the big budget Hollywood flicks like the Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno. But it has some very important distinctions: (1) These are not Hollywood actors; they look like ordinary folk from Norway; (2) The film is more like a documentary in style; (3) The build up to the Big Show is truly tense; (4) It's a smallish film, the type made by independents for the past twenty years, and the best scenes take place at night. Wish it had taken place during the day, but the special effects would have cost huge Hollywood-size bucks so it's understandable. Despite the weaknesses, I liked it very much. Excellent direction by Roar Uthaug; great acting (the best); and the screen writing and cinematography, first-rate. I normally don't actively search for subtitled movies, and I usually have a movie playing in the background as I work on the computer. This time, however, I turned the laptop off and just watched. It was worth it! See more Brad S. R @RT07389644 Mar 27, 2025 A rare disaster flick that actually sticks its landing. See more Coffee T @RT30305745 Jan 12, 2025 The movie started off a bit questionable but turned out to be a great watch! Knowing more about the situation than most, I found it hard to understand why the characters hesitated but honestly most people often doubt or deny things like this in real life when bad things happen. We all react differently to certain situations. The scenery was beautiful, and the CGI made the disaster look incredible. Some character deaths were sad, but they felt realistic since not everyone survives. I liked that some characters were smart enough to follow the guy who ran for safety though. I feel like a lot of movies lose a lot of fans when characters just stand and do nothing. See more Read all reviews
