awesome authentic movie from norway - The Quake review by jm

Spoiler Alert
07/08/2019

I think the Europeans do these movies so much better with real believable characters with a great build up to the earthquake itself.

its subtitled but don't let that put you off this awesome movie from Norway.

Terrific edge-of-seat disaster thriller - The Quake review by Alphaville

Spoiler Alert
02/10/2022

The problem with most disaster movies is you know what’s coming but still have to sit through screeds of character development to reach the action. Here, however, the build-up is believable and engaging, more of a detective story.

It’s a kinda-sequel to The Wave (also excellent), with the action shifting from Norway’s fjord country to Oslo. Our hero geologist, now a broken man estranged from the family he saved from the wave, now has to save them again as he begins to find evidence of what’s coming next. His efforts in a city of collapsing buildings really ramps up the tension in some terrific scenes of peril.
