La Palma

Without trying to spoil the absolutely atrocious plot, there are amazing visuals in this series. The visual department might even win a price for their stunning work. They must have cried when they saw the entire show.

Fortunately it starts off extremely good, the first 70 minutes are absolutely engaging and with the looming catastrophe explained, there is no way anyone will stop watching. After 70 minutes they start to introduce the side plots and you will not believe what you are about to experience.

Here is my best guess, this was pitched as a 120 minutes movie but Netflix needed a limited series on a small budget and they forced the writers to extend the original plot by 90 minutes and they had only 17 minutes time before the shooting starts.

It is truly on the Level of "The Room" with slightly better acting. Decisions are made that triggered me to yell at my TV Screen because they completely disabled logic at some point and physics as well.

It turned into an unintentional comedy and that's just sad when you see the stunning visuals that accompany these idiotic characters on their way.

10 Points for the great CGI -6 Points for the writing.

I liked so much of this. The scenery and cinematography were brilliant, as were the standard of animations, which felt very real. The intensity was non-stop as at some stage it just flicks on a switch and then never let's you go. I binged it all as I couldn't stop watching.

The thing that is really bizarre to me were the small plot holes, and silly teen romance which feels a bit childish, and slightly discredits what is an otherwise solid piece of television. I don't know why they did that as at some parts I found myself practically tutting at the screen. There are a few other nonsense moments, but if you can overlook that 10%, it is still brilliant.

Genuinely, a really enjoyable watch, and I would recommend it to anyone. I actually felt a bit guilty only giving this a 7/10 because if it wasn't for those small icks it could probably be an 8 or more. Merry Christmas!

Firstly please do not take this mini series seriously. It is however highly entertaining even with one of the most ridiculous storylines ever. The actors are so wooden they are in danger of catching fire from the erupting volcano. There is also the ridiculous amounts of created drama that serve no purpose whatsoever to the storyline. The special effects are one of the few better points of the series but as for the ending it really is a case of "You couldn't make it up". If you do choose to watch follow this advice for your own safety. Please remove your brain and leave in a safe place for a minimum of three hours.

Okay we have a great series here finally " IF YOU ARE OPENMINDED " you can enjoy something with your family coming to pros first - First of all as a limited series and that too not so anticipating series it has really really great VFX, I mean I was shocked that they outdid this job from many main studios , second the thrill and pace of the series it was fast and medium not slow so you gonna like it.

Not so many adult scenes kissing between 2 girls which was not necessary thou but yeah no problem I mean they in these time it's mandatory now idk why

Coming to bad or I should say dumb part - In many scenes I feel like the characters are the dumbest being on that whole island , I mean many accidents could be avoided but I think they deliberately chose that , but I think that's somewhat necessary 🤣😭 or the series could be finished in an hour.

But these bad points can be easily ignored.

Overall it's a great series if you wanna watch it with your friends and family , the camera work , VFX, the location all are great and good adventure series that is wrapped up in 4 episodes so you don't have to wait years to finish that up

In short go for it you will surely enjoy it. For me I enjoyed it a lot NETFLIX should make more family friendly thriller series like these.

Good movie. Cool plot. Catastrophie strikes vacation-paradise for sun hungry Norwegians. As a father of a boy with autism, I can relate to this part of the story. The problem is that the father is very annoying. The Way he behaves is not normal. Pluss he is a bad actor. I dont know why he is in so many Norwegian movies, because he is a terrible actor. A pity, really.

Anyway...; it is a good story. I dont know if four epidodes is really necessary, though. There are a lot of non-important scenes, like everything with Charlie. Her whole role just consumes time, and is not constructive in any way...
