The geologist Kristian Eikjord (Kristoffer Joner) works controlling the movements of mountains and fjords in Geiranger. He says goodbye to his colleagues since he is moving with his family to Stavanger to work in the oil industry. When he is leaving the station, he notes that two sensors indicate a strange movement of the underground water, intriguing him. While waiting for the ferry with his teenage son Sondre (Jonas Hoff Oftebro) and his little daughter Julia (Edith Haagenrud-Sande) to go to Stavanger, Kristian decides to return to the station. He goes by helicopter with his colleague Jacob (Arthur Berning) to investigate the sensors and they find the wires broken. When Jacob and his boss Arvid (Fridtjov Såheim) head to the place later to a further investigation, they discover that an avalanche will happen soon. Arvid orders to sound the warning alarm in Geiranger. Kristian with Julia hear the alarm, he calls his wife Idun (Ane Dahl Torp) that works in the local hotel and warns that Sondre and she should go to a higher place since a tsunami will come in a few minutes in Geiranger. What will the population do?
"Bølgen" is a great disaster movie, with good performances, special effects, and landscapes in Norway. The plot is believable, tense and engaging and holds the attention of the viewer until the very last scene. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "A Onda" ("The Wave")
