Happy ending for some. Not so for others. Typical in these sorts of films.


And Thor never saved anyone! He's a God you worship out of fear for what he might do to you, not for you.

A review by Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times:

Documentary: Made for educational purposes.

Disaster movie: Made for entertainment.

Learning the difference may prevent future faux pas...  :aok

Oh and just a fair warning: This is an R rated film (and not because of nudity) and goes to some really dark places. Not a popcorn disaster movie you would like to watch with your children. It's sort of two thirds disaster movie and one third horror movie.

Now that the warning has been delivered it should be said that Geiranger is a remarkably picturesque place to destroy.



No spoilers in those clips btw.
