    It's not that bad

    If you can put aside the dodgy CGI and some poor acting from the B rated actors who are all gunning for an Oscar, then this film isn't bad.

    Great story with a well-believable conspiracy theory that you could belief in real life and that is it's strength.

    Two parts to the mini-series which is worth a watch.

    Don't watch!

    Angus MacFadyen and the general concept made me watch this. I couldn't get through more than the first hour though. Very bad pacing, not great acting, bad CGI, characters you don't care about and a plot that makes no sense and shifts for little reason.

    There was a weird dress ethic where men wore ill fitting suits in strange colours. Perhaps they bought in bulk from a thrift store.

    I can't even give any good points to balance this review. I guess the lighting wasn't awful and it's probably family friendly since it's devoid of sex, drugs, tension and, well everything.

    Leave it alone. You will thank me.

    Entertaining and a Little Predictable

    "Killer Wave" was shown in Two-2hr time slots, so I recorded these so I could watch them together. I find that most TV movies of this length lose any rhythm when watched on multiple nights and, of course, broken by commercials. With that condition, I enjoyed it. I found the story interesting and the production good. It would be a movie that most family members could watch, although younger viewers are often wanting the special effects and impact of 'big-budget' movies.

    Parts of the movies are predictable, but I found those occasions something to smile at since I recognized the idea before they happened. I was disappointed that the few fight scenes came off poorly -- this plot doesn't need a lot of them, and the didn't overdue them -- just not the quality we expect these days.

    Overall, good for a TV movie. Worth watching, but I probably would not watch it a second time.

    Bad movie...

    "Killer Wave" is a TV Mini-Series movie divided into two parts which are equally bad. To tell the truth when you start to see a movie like this you do not have many expectations of this. Personally, I have to tell you that I saw this movie yesterday on TV and it was really a waste of my time, but I knew from the beginning of this that it will be.

    In my opinion "Killer Wave" is a simple movie with not any plot or anything that a person could be interested of. Αs the film title says, regards a deadly wave which destroys and kills everyone and everything in its path.

    Do not waste your time for this movie, it's not worth it...

    Killer Wave: Above par for its genre

    There are so many movies of this ilk out there often played daily on the Scyfy channel. Some form of disaster, terrible cgi and a group of actors on the downswing of their careers.

    This two part mini-series is essentially just an extended one of the aforementioned movies and stands at 3hrs.

    It follows a scientist investigating a shady conspiracy regarding bizarre tsunamis that are behaving unusually and against nature.

    The plot is actually not bad even if not entirely original, it plods along at a competent pace and is marginally saved by a very good cast who are simply too good for this kind of project.

    For what it is it's not actually bad, but with the exception of the finale don't except any surprises.

    The Good:

    Strong cast

    The Bad:

    Speedboat over the tsunami, sorry but really!?

    The usual poor cgi

    Things I Learnt From This Movie:

    Tsunamis are bad?! Sorry I really have noting for this one

    • Trivia
      Throughout the film, especially in the 2nd half, as the police search for the main character, John McAdams, played by Angus Macfadyen, they repeatedly show photocopies of a picture of McAdams. The picture is the same photo of Macfadyen that appears on his IMDb profile.
    • Goofs
      When lead henchman, Aslan Bukhari (Andreas Apergis) shoots the security guard in the ship yard to commandeer the explosives from a semi-truck to trigger the final tsunami, he takes the keys, inspects the trailer and sets the keys down on the floor. After toying with a stuffed animal that inexplicably is lying on the floor of the trailer, Aslan shuts and locks the door leaving the keys on the floor.
