    • 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.

    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
