El mar del Norte

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.

North Sea is a little-known Norwegian disaster film. Norwegian cinema is not the most famous in Europe, not to mention the whole world. But North Sea is a great movie, something similar to Deepwater Horizon, but without Hollywood pathos and star cast. If you liked Deepwater Horizon, I advise you to watch North Sea. Yes, there is no star cast in North Sea, there is almost no action. Here is mostly a drama of several people, their suffering and sacrifices. But the film doesn't seem more passable. It's just about something else. I advise everyone to watch it, I understand that few people will know about the film. I was accidentally offered by a media service after watching Deepwater Horizon.

I enjoyed the film. The acting was good, the effects believable and the underlying message important.

I want to urge people who visit this site in order to decide whether or not to watch a particular film to concentrate on the subject, the director, the actors and the writers. If some or all of those intrigue you, go for it. Pay as little attention as possible to the reviewers' remarks and opinions as they are often misleading and/or wrong. Do not let them sway you. Respect the time and effort people have put into creating the films and form your own opinions.

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.

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!
