Skjelvet (2018)
It's so-so
A lot of the movie is build up. The disaster itself was alright, good cgi. The elevator shaft scene felt a bit too long. I'm left with many unanswered questions. Did they actually climb up (from the window area at the end) using those small cords? How'd they survive that weight? Why couldn't we see them actually escaping the building? How many died? What level on the Richter scale was the earthquake? And considering the movie consisted of so much family drama pre-disastse I'm surprised they didn't show us anything afterwards. I assume the kids moved to the father when looking at the boat scene, but they could've shown a bit more. I also wonder what the university students thought afterwards when they (the survivors) realize they should've listened to the guy telling them to leave. While the movie wasn't great, I think it ended too soon with too many questions unanswered.
