New to Netflix is this really excellent disaster film about a real-life tsunami scenario in Norway. Very highly recommend. You will hardly notice the subtitles. The film is also available on Amazon via instant streaming or DVD.

New disaster film packs cinemas

August 31, 2015

"...audiences continued to stream into the weekend’s premiere showings of an eerily realistic new Norwegian disaster film. Simply called The Wave (Bølgen), the film depicts a tsunami roaring through Norway’s popular and scenic Geiranger Fjord, and the questions it raises about the probability of such a disaster are very real indeed."

"...the Toronto Film Festival and is shortlisted as Norway’s nominee for an Oscar."

"...The audience at Sunday night’s showing, complete with English subtitles, was relatively young and almost strangely quiet as they collectively followed the suspense "

"...The scenario presented in The Wave is so realistic (major rockslides and resulting floodwaves did wipe out communities and killed nearly 200 people in Tafjord and Bødal as late as 1905, 1934 and 1936) that it’s likely no coincidence that a government minister, Tord Lien, visited NVE’s national center for monitoring the unstable Åkneset just a week before the premiere...."

Thanks Dagny. Looks like a good movie and is on the "to watch" list.
