Summary: In 1904 an earthquake with a 5.4 magnitude on the Richter scale shook Oslo. Its epicenter was in the Oslo Rift which runs directly through the Norwegian capital. There are recorded quakes from the rift on a daily basis and geologists cannot be sure, but arguments indicate that we can expect major future earthquakes in this area. When -In 1904 an earthquake with a 5.4 magnitude on the Richter scale shook Oslo. Its epicenter was in the Oslo Rift which runs directly through the Norwegian capital. There are recorded quakes from the rift on a daily basis and geologists cannot be sure, but arguments indicate that we can expect major future earthquakes in this area. When - nobody can say for certain – but we know that the density of people and infrastructure in Oslo is significantly more vulnerable today than in 1904. What if a massive earthquake is looming?… Expand

Director Andersen’s pacing is dynamic, allowing white-knuckled viewers to catch their breaths before he takes it away again. This isn’t a sequel, it’s an after-shock – and a doozy at that. Read full review

With well-staged action, good character work, and believable progressions from the previous installment, The Quake is the sequel that fans of “The Wave” deserve. Read full review

The Quake hits a handful of the cliches one expects from a disaster film, as well as having one character’s death not mean as much as it should. However, thanks to strong characterizations and good acting the plot is still engaging. However, the reason to watch the film is the excellent cinematography and awe-inspiring effects.

When the trouble does hit in this film, it hits hard, at which point all the investment in character pays off. Read full review

This Quake delivers with skill. The build-up to the disaster nicely intensifies with a feeling of dread, and some of the subtlest early effects are the most powerful. Read full review

Joner is a capable actor, but he’s required here to remain for such a long time in a one-note condition of mental fragility that our sympathy for the character starts to give way to exasperation. Read full review

Esta bien hecha, no es aburrida, el problema que la historia se tarda mucho en explicar como surge un terremoto, demasiado termino técnico que la hace tediosa y desespera no ver acción. La acción tarda 10min y se resuelve el destino de los protagonistas muy rápido. La hija me cagó.

I was completely unaware that the Norwegian disaster movie The Wave, had a sequel.
And I must say that like its predecessor it seemed competent enough considering its offer.

And I must say that like its predecessor it seemed competent enough considering its offer.

It's rare to see a sequel of this type in which the protagonist is mired in a depression due to the fatalities he thinks he could have prevented.
Although the story abuses of that element quite a bit, because even though the acting is credible, the script doesn't allow him to advance further, and his character becomes exasperating. But I reiterate, it was competent enough, I had no expectations because as I said I wasn't even aware of its existence, however, it seemed entertaining enough.… Expand

While thrilling and tense in parts, "The Quake" fails to retain the same amount of impact as "The Wave", due to it's unrealistic situations and characters making wrong decisions.

A Norwegian disaster movie that has nothing to envy to the Hollywood ones, both in positive for the technical sector and in negative for the most shaky plot of the earthquake itself, with all the characters always making the worst choice at the worst time.

this movie is a slutty is not possible ;-; This movie is a disaster literally, 1 hour and 40 min but I think only about 20 and of action. It also doesn't show how the characters got out of certain situations like in the destroyed Building
