8 films about tsunami and floods that will make you squeeze into a chair

Frame from the movie “Flood”

The strongest storm is approaching the capital of Great Britain. Only an experienced meteorologist Leonard Morrison can stop the element, whose warnings were not heard at one time.

The film clearly demonstrates what will happen if London suddenly covers with water, and the frames of the flooded Trafalgar Square look very impressive. But the script is poorly spelled out, and the special effects came out weak. Actors save the situation a bit: the charismatic Robert Carlisle and the magnificent David Soussh – the same Erkul Poiro from the series according to Agatha Christie’s novels.

7. Tsunami 3D

Bait

  • Australia, Singapore, 2011.
  • Horrors, militant, thriller, drama, adventure.
  • Duration: 93 minutes.

The director of the Nin Dina Denilin managed to get to the main roles of such stars as Gerard Butler, Jim Sturesses, Abby Cornish and Ed Harris. Although neither brilliant actors, nor expensive special effects saved the film: there are too many cliches and outright blunders in it. But if you are waiting for a pure drive and a beautiful picture from the movie, “Georgram” is quite suitable.
