Killer Wave Audience Reviews

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
zee ...this may have the worst science. (And that takes some doing!) Nothing in here makes sense, but I'd be willing to watch it anyway, despite the one-dimensional characters and non-science, but it falls apart even taken on its own terms. I'll pick out various problems, in no particular order:There are deadly dull moments, far too many of them for the genre. Nobody coordinated accents, so while it seems it might be taking place in Canada most times (it's not supposed to be, but the news reporter they keep flashing to in cliché shots is clearly Canadian), every accent was different than every other one. Hire a dialog coach! You know a "thriller" movie has lost you when you start thinking "Why am I watching Tom Skerritt peel a tangerine, and why can't he peel faster?" And some of the cuts and angles on faces are very weird--did they think that would disguise that we were watching five minutes of talking heads? Why did the hero wander through a crowd of policemen holding his photo just to say "hi" to a neighbor and immediately leave? Am I supposed to think that's drama? And what were the goofy villains' goals? Never did catch that.I fell asleep at minute 160 or so, and I have no desire to go back and catch the last 15.
Randy Cliff "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.
Michael O'Keefe Why is disaster so interesting? KILLER WAVE leaves room for some improvement, but all-in-all is not really bad. Massive torrential waves begin battering the east coast without any logical explanation. Is it really Mother Nature at work or is she getting some help? Multi-millionaire businessman Victor Bannister(Tom Skerritt)offers to foot the bill for clean up and help in restoration. Out-of-the-loop scientist John McAdams(Angus Macfadyen) isn't so sure the series of "killer waves" are natural and is determined to prove that they are being created by terrorists. Helping to back up this revelation is Oceanographic genius Sophie Marleau(Karine Vanasse). The eastern seaboard is living in fear as McAdams himself is on the run from authorities and terrorists. Other players include: Vlasta Vrana, Christopher Heyerdahl, Ellen David, Bruce Dinsmore and Stephen McHattie.
meerende This is a very slow movie, i can not understand that some people give this movie a 10... ??? I think those people never saw a movie before.It's a lot of talking and no action. Even Angus Macfadyen is loosing his grip and can not save the movie for going down the hill. I've seen other movies with Angus, like BraveHeart, in that movie he was acting sublime. The most actors where performing worse and they could not amuse me.Also the special effects, where cheap, can anyone remember Dr. Who ? The special effects in that series were better. In the first part, when they go up to the wave in a boat, nice trying but bad steeling from the movie "A Perfect Storm".The second part, give me a break... i took it "i fell a sleep".Don't spent your precious time on it, do something good with it !!!
