A popular vacation spot on the East Sea coast, Haeundae draws one million visitors to its beaches every year. One day, a geologist who is an expert on tsunami research, discovers the East Sea showing signs of activity similar to the Indian Ocean at the time of the 2004 Tsunami. Despite his warnings, the Disaster Prevention Agency affirms that Korea is in no harm of being hit but on a hot summer day, a super-tsunami is headed straight for Haeundae at 500 miles per hour.
Below is the comment of this disaster movie online:
The camerawork in "Tsunami" is commendable, capturing the characters' panicky emotions well when disaster is about to strike. It almost gives a first-person sort of experience, if put into the same situation as being trapped and helpless. On the other hand, "Tsunami" also boasts quite an impressive visual effect of the giant killer wave ramming into thousands of people at the beach and slamming into high rise buildings. Well, it looks like Hollywood has finally met its competitor!
I will give 4 stars to this movie as it shocks me with its huge tsunami that floods the whole city within 10 mins time. It has awaken me that one has to cherish what he/she has to prevent regrets. There is one scene that the mom and dad push their girl to the survival team and watch her being taken away earns my tears.
Cheers with every loves.
