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...

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.

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!

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.

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.
