ला पाल्मा

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.

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...

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.

Don't start watching this series before sleep, because your blood pressure will shoot through the roof due to incredibly dumb characters.

Each of their actions is counter-intuitive and annoying as hell. The series drags on as non-interesting love/family drama with some mental health issues.

Special effects of tsunami and volcano are good, but their on-screen time is too short to make a difference or give you enough satisfaction after such an annoying family drama.

The problem is that you will want to binge it, in anticipation of a bloody tsunami, to get some satisfaction in the end.. so if you are going to watch it, start during the day. If you start in the evening, you will get pissed and disturb your sleep.

That said, I really hope Netflix continues doing apocalyptic/disaster pieces.. as there has been a lack of them in the past few years. But don't do it as series, with stupid drama fillers to drag it on! Just make a movie.

If this was a movie, it would have been much better.
