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.

I did really appreciate this film. The film was great, and had good effects. I got to remember this is a Norwegian movie, but they are at the level with the great ones in America, I think. I love that the catastrophic movies of 2021, has a message. Not only this movie of course. The message is real and important!
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.
I think this movie is a great example of good, Norwegian quality. It includes great actors, respectable CGI, and a deep, cinematic experience. In my opinion, this one is better than both the Norwegian The Wave (2015) and The Quake (2018), and can easily beat several of Hollywood's disaster movies. Recommending!
I enjoyed the film. The acting was good, the effects believable and the underlying message important.
