La Palma

Yes, this movie has flaws, but it is definitely an entertaining mini series. The dubbing was easier to handle than most. The cgi was really good for a Netflix production. The acting was ok, but you felt connected to them all the same. Now there are some ridiculous decisions made by the characters that made you wanna scream at them. Overall very entertaining and my attention span didn't wander, which is a good sign. Trying to meet the word requirement because I am running out of things to type here as 2025 approaches. Happy New Year and let's make 2025 better than 2024. Adios, good night, and bye !!

Don't start watching this series before sleep, because your blood pressure will shoot through the roof due to incredibly dumb characters.

Each of their actions is counter-intuitive and annoying as hell. The series drags on as non-interesting love/family drama with some mental health issues.

Special effects of tsunami and volcano are good, but their on-screen time is too short to make a difference or give you enough satisfaction after such an annoying family drama.

The problem is that you will want to binge it, in anticipation of a bloody tsunami, to get some satisfaction in the end.. so if you are going to watch it, start during the day. If you start in the evening, you will get pissed and disturb your sleep.

That said, I really hope Netflix continues doing apocalyptic/disaster pieces.. as there has been a lack of them in the past few years. But don't do it as series, with stupid drama fillers to drag it on! Just make a movie.

If this was a movie, it would have been much better.

Having some real-life examples, this could have been an intriguing story of a tsunami. Instead we need manufactiured drama on top of manufactured drama for no other reason than to irritate the viewer.

The main protagonist family PURPOSELY separated from each other about 8 times. The first time okay, second maybe, but the remaining times made zero sense outside of creating false tension. I really wanted that whole family dead, including the child because of their stupidity.

Other stupidity, let's sit here on a beach AFTER the tsunami has started. Let's leave the safety of my family to run in danger to save someone that said 'hi' to me yesterday. Let's continue our vacation AFTER a plane crash caused by a volcano.

Scientists, doctors, engineers, politicians, tourist were the dumbest people ever. I wanted all of them dea.

Good movie. Cool plot. Catastrophie strikes vacation-paradise for sun hungry Norwegians. As a father of a boy with autism, I can relate to this part of the story. The problem is that the father is very annoying. The Way he behaves is not normal. Pluss he is a bad actor. I dont know why he is in so many Norwegian movies, because he is a terrible actor. A pity, really.

Anyway...; it is a good story. I dont know if four epidodes is really necessary, though. There are a lot of non-important scenes, like everything with Charlie. Her whole role just consumes time, and is not constructive in any way...

It felt like the producers were so desperate to give it a good ending that they forgot what makes a good disaster themed series great. Some characters took dumb decisions yet didn't die at the end. Few characters got saved in a way which is not even realistically possible in situation like that. So a lot of questionable decisions they took at the climax which didn't go in the favor of the drama. I enjoyed the other episodes though. Skipped a few parts. VFX was stunning. But definitely a good one time watch. Good for the producers that they didnt drag it too much and ended with 4 episodes. That kept the screenplay as griping as possible for the viewers.
