      Sequel to Bølgen (2015).
    • Goofs
      When they say that from a quake of magnitude 6 to 8, it's not a factor of two but 1 million, it's wrong. 1 unit of magnitude difference is 32 times. So here a magnitude 8 is 1,024 times more powerful than a magnitude 6, not 1 million. That would be a difference of 4 magnitudes.

    Overrated Disaster Movie
    The Norwegian "Skjelvet", a.k.a. "The Quake", is an overrated disaster movie. The special effects are indeed stunning and worthwhile watching, but the predictable storyline and characters are disappointing. Kristian Eikjord is unpleasant and strange and most of the characters have stupid attitudes. The abrupt conclusion is weak. My vote is five.

    FAQ1

    • Is this connected to Bølgen (2015)? Do you need to see Bølgen (2015) The Wave, first before seeing this?
