After surviving The Wave, Kristian Eikjord and his family find themselves at the center of another natural disaster. This time, the ground beneath Oslo, Norway can’t be trusted. For geologists like Kristian, studying the daily quakes proves that it’s no longer a matter of if, but when the next catastrophic event will strike. Will it surpass the devastating earthquake that destroyed the city in 1904? The Quake follows Kristian as he makes a perilous attempt to help his wife, daughter and others escape a crumbling skyscraper when nature takes its course again.
"The Norwegian film 'A Onda' was atypical: outside of the traditional circuit, director Roar Uthaug (who would go on to direct the new 'Tomb Raider') managed to create a grandiose blockbuster about survival and the end of the world. In this case, a tsunami that forms in a small town in the heart of Norway. Now, five years later, the franchise returns for another catastrophe in 'Skjelvet'. In this case, as the name itself says, an earthquake of unprecedented proportions promises to destroy the capital Oslo. Without Uthaug's direction, and now under the command of the inexperienced John Andreas Andersen (from the good movie 'Uno'), the franchise loses vitality and the effects become more erratic. However, that's it: for those who liked 'A Onda' and have a special affection for movies like 'Deep Impact' and 'Daylight', they will find guaranteed fun. And the best part: coming from a country with very little tradition in action cinema, showing that there is room for experimentation."
