Bølgen (2015)
The Clusterfuck
A team of scientists on a mountain have 1 job, and one job only, to press a button when the mountain will collapse. They are equipped beyond believe. Private helicopter, head mounted wireless camera's, multiple stations, 70 inch flat screen TV's everywhere and sensors all over the place. Somehow, despite a full day of pretty clear warnings of their sensors, they finally manage to press the button, after staring at it for a cringe inducing eternity, only when the mountain is visibly collapsing. The birds know before these dumb asses figure it out. Unfortunately from all people that need to die in this movie, only one scientist is among them. Even though it was the most annoying one of the bunch, by the time the mountain finally collapses I was ready to hand out darwin awards to all of them. Respect lost.
This movie proceeds to play out like a porn movie. You get to know the characters and then you know they will have to survive while a whole lot of people, who you have not been introduced to or who were so annoying you wanted them to die, get killed.
Realism is lost on this movie. After the tsunami has hit somehow the whole city seems to be on fire? Conveniently placed underwater lights help us see? Our hero wears an altitude meter and has a waterproof flashlight on hand so on...
Why did they even make this movie? It's pretty much every disaster movie you've ever seen, but then with lemmings from Norway.
