The North Sea

Good movie, a bit more promising in the trailer.

However, someone forgot to turn image stabilization on. Awful capturing... If you are into movies you'll realize it from the first second.

I think this movie is a great example of good, Norwegian quality. It includes great actors, respectable CGI, and a deep, cinematic experience. In my opinion, this one is better than both the Norwegian The Wave (2015) and The Quake (2018), and can easily beat several of Hollywood's disaster movies. Recommending!

Yes, for American viewers it will remind "Deepwater Horizon" (2016) and others could probably compare it with movies about Chernobyl Disaster 1986 or 2021 Suez Canal obstruction. Anyway, yes this movies is about disaster that was caused nor by nature but by humans.

This movies has it strong sides like a good acting from the whole cast, interesting plot, and driven action without unreal things (like Dwayne Johnson failing out of the skyscraper, mundane routine in a movie "Skyscraper" (2018)). Unfortunately, this movie also has negative sides like copying American style of movies (examples above can be considered), obviously somewhere & somehow scenario is predictable, and "fancy" cultural contrast (It is not about Norway, it is about representation how scenes and certain actions showed).

Overall, it is a good movie and good story. The plot is interesting and has interesting twists. It is showing action from on side and beauty of culture from another side. Definitely, not a waste of time but sadly contain some vivid cliché. If it would had editing in regards of the scenario and cut in chronométrage, it could be 10 out of 10.

P. S: If you are in Greenpeace or in WWF, or fan of Greta Thunberg, you might have a serious "burnout" / "butthurt" particularly close to the end of the movie ;)

It felt a little long and dragged out for the 104 min runtime, but it was still a solid and entertaining production, with excellent cinematography and S/VFX. Casting and performances were spot on. It's a good one-time watch, and a well deserved 7/10 from me.

We enjoyed it a lot. Norway continues to pump out good flicks and series. It's great we can see other countries movies.. it, more than the internet, makes the world a smaller, safer place. Assuming we get rid of Putin, Xi and other nefarious evil characters on world stage. I think someday in next couple decades we will find world peace. Think I'm naisve? I remember when Norway was thought to be in that same category along with many others who now are great countries (some better than USA). If I had foresight I'd moved my family to Norway 30 yrs ago.

Worth a watch for sure.
