The Wave (Bølgen)
The story begins with the small Norwegian village of Geiranger, which seems to be in danger of a real catastrophe when the neskneset mountain pathway falls and blows a violent tsunami of more than 80 meters in length. Through that wave, there is only 10 minutes to escape the disaster that could kill the whole city, where villagers must challenge time and escape to the mountains before the wave wiped them out.

The Wave, based on some actual rockslides from decades ago, may try for a little bit of respectability, but it doesn't have much to say, and then says it in a somber closing credits: Watch out for rockslides, basically.

he three principal actors are charming and Norwegian movies can always be counted on for sublime scenery -- even when that scenery turns malevolent -- but boy is this thing cliche-ridden and predictable!

Something like The Wave is indeed a rarity - without skimping on the spectacle that glues eyeballs to the screen, it takes the time to develop its characters.

The Wave may be cut from B-movie cheesecloth, but a fresh, frank perspective is still capable of enlivening old cinematic tropes.

Having laid out my qualms in advance, I am happy to report that The Wave... is pretty good. It's also pretty strange.

The whole thing is pure formula. But The Wave, which was Norway's official entry for the Academy Awards, makes it work anyway.

As a good, old-fashioned hunk of big-screen disaster, you could do a lot worse than The Wave, say last year's far more expensive and less involving San Andreas.

The movie works; the setting feels grandly unfamiliar, and the aftermath of the wave, with its elemental mix of water and fire, seems like a plausible vision of Hell.

Gives the fright-inducing natural events their due, but also gives the human drama the same courtesy.

More than anything, The Wave's ability to sustain tension out of its tired scenario makes it even more impressive than its Me Decade ancestors.
