The North Sea

I enjoyed the film. The acting was good, the effects believable and the underlying message important.

I want to urge people who visit this site in order to decide whether or not to watch a particular film to concentrate on the subject, the director, the actors and the writers. If some or all of those intrigue you, go for it. Pay as little attention as possible to the reviewers' remarks and opinions as they are often misleading and/or wrong. Do not let them sway you. Respect the time and effort people have put into creating the films and form your own opinions.

Good movie, a bit more promising in the trailer.

However, someone forgot to turn image stabilization on. Awful capturing... If you are into movies you'll realize it from the first second.

We enjoyed it a lot. Norway continues to pump out good flicks and series. It's great we can see other countries movies.. it, more than the internet, makes the world a smaller, safer place. Assuming we get rid of Putin, Xi and other nefarious evil characters on world stage. I think someday in next couple decades we will find world peace. Think I'm naisve? I remember when Norway was thought to be in that same category along with many others who now are great countries (some better than USA). If I had foresight I'd moved my family to Norway 30 yrs ago.

Worth a watch for sure.

North Sea is a little-known Norwegian disaster film. Norwegian cinema is not the most famous in Europe, not to mention the whole world. But North Sea is a great movie, something similar to Deepwater Horizon, but without Hollywood pathos and star cast. If you liked Deepwater Horizon, I advise you to watch North Sea. Yes, there is no star cast in North Sea, there is almost no action. Here is mostly a drama of several people, their suffering and sacrifices. But the film doesn't seem more passable. It's just about something else. I advise everyone to watch it, I understand that few people will know about the film. I was accidentally offered by a media service after watching Deepwater Horizon.

Yes, for American viewers it will remind "Deepwater Horizon" (2016) and others could probably compare it with movies about Chernobyl Disaster 1986 or 2021 Suez Canal obstruction. Anyway, yes this movies is about disaster that was caused nor by nature but by humans.

This movies has it strong sides like a good acting from the whole cast, interesting plot, and driven action without unreal things (like Dwayne Johnson failing out of the skyscraper, mundane routine in a movie "Skyscraper" (2018)). Unfortunately, this movie also has negative sides like copying American style of movies (examples above can be considered), obviously somewhere & somehow scenario is predictable, and "fancy" cultural contrast (It is not about Norway, it is about representation how scenes and certain actions showed).

Overall, it is a good movie and good story. The plot is interesting and has interesting twists. It is showing action from on side and beauty of culture from another side. Definitely, not a waste of time but sadly contain some vivid cliché. If it would had editing in regards of the scenario and cut in chronométrage, it could be 10 out of 10.

P. S: If you are in Greenpeace or in WWF, or fan of Greta Thunberg, you might have a serious "burnout" / "butthurt" particularly close to the end of the movie ;)
