By focusing on the human characters, "The Wave" is a more compelling disaster film than the usual.

Who knew there was a Norwegian version of Roland Emmerich out there? Seriously, though, while I'm sure it had a fraction of the budget of most American big-budget disaster films, Roar Uthaug crafts a nice story that has decent characters, a lot of action and even some tense moments. It's a good time - just make sure to watch the subtitled version and stay away from the awful dubbed version.
