La Palma

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...

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.

It felt like the producers were so desperate to give it a good ending that they forgot what makes a good disaster themed series great. Some characters took dumb decisions yet didn't die at the end. Few characters got saved in a way which is not even realistically possible in situation like that. So a lot of questionable decisions they took at the climax which didn't go in the favor of the drama. I enjoyed the other episodes though. Skipped a few parts. VFX was stunning. But definitely a good one time watch. Good for the producers that they didnt drag it too much and ended with 4 episodes. That kept the screenplay as griping as possible for the viewers.

This movie is about a natural disaster that takes place in the island of La Palma, the title of this show. It follows a family of four and their journey of survival/death through this disaster. Our protagonists contain the husband and wife, along with their two children, all of whom are fighting battles of their own. Will they be able to battle against Mother Nature and survive against all odds? I would recommend watching this limited series to find out.

I liked the overall screenplay which makes it a very gripping story to watch. The VFX effects are quite good too, but I think it could have been better. I would recommend watching this at least once.

Having some real-life examples, this could have been an intriguing story of a tsunami. Instead we need manufactiured drama on top of manufactured drama for no other reason than to irritate the viewer.

The main protagonist family PURPOSELY separated from each other about 8 times. The first time okay, second maybe, but the remaining times made zero sense outside of creating false tension. I really wanted that whole family dead, including the child because of their stupidity.

Other stupidity, let's sit here on a beach AFTER the tsunami has started. Let's leave the safety of my family to run in danger to save someone that said 'hi' to me yesterday. Let's continue our vacation AFTER a plane crash caused by a volcano.

Scientists, doctors, engineers, politicians, tourist were the dumbest people ever. I wanted all of them dea.
