This film was brilliant up until about half way through with a great build-up leading to an epic action scene followed by a fairly uninspired rescue. The tsunami itself was intense and well handled with nifty visual effects. After the main event though the film gets a little clichéd and drawn-out and I found myself losing interest. The whole set piece following the wave was rather predictable and went on too long. It follows a very formulaic Hollywood template but with an attempt at a heightened sense of realism, yet it still suffers from plot holes and a lack of logic at times. On the plus side, the acting was really good throughout and everything looked stunning. Definitely worth a watch if you like disaster films but ultimately a little disappointing towards the end.
