The Wave is a Norwegian movie that shows the disaster caused by natural calamities. The story does not portray the irrational heroes trying to save the world, rather the humans stuck in the natural calamities make a quick life and death decision.
The movie stars Kristoffer Joner who plays a geologist who is about to leave his job in Early Warning Centre in Geiranger, Norway that was inspecting a possible rockslide in Åkerneset mountain.
Just as he is ready to leave town with wife and children, he senses a fierce avalanche that will trigger a tsunami that will sweep the village in 10 minutes.
Norwegian director has made sure that he shows every character properly, whether that is an elderly citizen ignoring the signals or an oblivious young man locking himself up in the basement with a pair of headphones.
