La Palma

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.

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.

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.
