When I watch a "disaster movie" I expect entertainment above all else. But that is just me. In this regard however, the movie fails, and it does so because it's no Hollywood. This is what Wave is lacking: star power- charismatic leads, memorable and/or funny one-liners, humour, camp, dramatic build up... all the things that make Hollywood movies universally appealing and fun.
The actors here are all unpleasant to look at, charmless, and again, I would like to see a disaster flick without children in it (or family drama of any kind). The build up to the actual disaster is extremeley long and boring to death.
Then, what is really annoying is how incredibly stupidly and Slowly everyone acts. The woman in the early learning center waits for another minute to push the alarm, even after the mountain starts collapsing. Get on with it, stupid! They all stare at the data, warnings everywhere, and assume there's an error. What's the point of having all that equipment then? Why would the blonde need to knock on every door inside the hotel wasting precious time? Doesn't every adult know that when an alarm sounds in the middle of the night, you just get out immediately? And the stupidity goes on and on.
One good thing about the movie is the beautiful scenery, Norway is indeed breathtaking.
