Trivia
The CGI tsunami sequences had been shot at Kerner Optical's stages using water-dump tanks left over from special effects sequences of Indiana Jones et le Royaume du crâne de cristal (2008) in San Rafael, California in November and December 2008, months before any principal photography began in South Korea

Goofs
When the grandmother is watching the wave come in on the bridge, an aerial point-of-view shot shows the wave yet the height of the water around the footings remains constant.

Quotes
Helicopter Pilot: We need to adjust those settings, this doesn't look right.
Emergency Room Intern: James, James! James! We need to look at this. Something strange.
[He shows the man the paper]
Helicopter Pilot: Oh my god!
Emergency Room Intern: Why am I jumping to this? Just listen up! Move the people somewhere higher okay! It's the Tsunami!

Big Time Drama

I enjoyed this. However, I can't recall seeing a disaster movie with so much drama. You have to expect some drama so that you become invested in the characters but it seemed like a bit much for me. It wasn't a bad film though. If you are looking for something suspenseful this is probably not the right movie. If you want a drama film that just happens to, eventually, have a tsunami in it this is what you are looking for.
