    "Killer Wave" is a TV Mini-Series movie divided into two parts which are equally bad. To tell the truth when you start to see a movie like this you do not have many expectations of this. Personally, I have to tell you that I saw this movie yesterday on TV and it was really a waste of my time, but I knew from the beginning of this that it will be.In my opinion "Killer Wave" is a simple movie with not any plot or anything that a person could be interested of. Αs the film title says, regards a deadly wave which destroys and kills everyone and everything in its path.Do not waste your time for this movie, it's not worth it...

    Killer Wave did seem sort of interesting at hindsight, with the idea to have man making tidal waves as a terrorist weapon, but when I did sit down to watch it it was spoilt completely by bad execution. The scenery is good, but the photography has a dull look to it and the effects looked cheesy and would look more at home in films and TV series of the 60s. Killer Wave is furthered hampered by endless continuity problems especially in the scene where Jim's house is destroyed by the tidal wave, including noticeable and distracting changes in position of the wave, and scientific inaccuracies with words you could tell they didn't know the meaning of it. That's not all though. The dialogue is rambling and stilted, the main villain's speech about his humble taking-over could and should have been edited down to three or so sentences and there is nothing interesting in the story or characters. Granted the concept was great, but the pace was pedestrian not helped by scenes that dragged on forever, the whole McAdams framing plotting was far too obvious and I have seen the innocent-guy-holding-the-gun trick countless times before and a million times better. In terms of the characters, none of them engaged me in any way, they are little more than bland stereotypes that you don't care anything for in the end. It seems ironic really because by the end of the first part despite the overkill character padding by the time any character is given any attention you just don't care. The acting is awful, Angus McFadyen is such a promising actor but this story and character is simply beneath him and judging by his phoned-in performance here I got the sense he knew that. Overall, as interesting the idea was, the execution made Killer Wave a waste of time. 1/10 Bethany Cox

    Killer Wave opens with a huge wave coming at some kids on the beach while they scream and run. Then the film gets a boring start for 10 minutes with not one comedic line or interesting piece of material. Then it gets good. From there it kept me interested the whole way through. So a male and female scientists whose names escapes me is on the run from two nosy FBI agents, terrorists, violent she males and GIANT waves badly created with terrible CGI effects.And this is not a kids movie no matter what it may seem. There's a part where a guy kills his wife then himself. And there's a graphic kill scene of a woman.

    Why is disaster so interesting? KILLER WAVE leaves room for some improvement, but all-in-all is not really bad. Massive torrential waves begin battering the east coast without any logical explanation. Is it really Mother Nature at work or is she getting some help? Multi-millionaire businessman Victor Bannister(Tom Skerritt)offers to foot the bill for clean up and help in restoration. Out-of-the-loop scientist John McAdams(Angus Macfadyen) isn't so sure the series of "killer waves" are natural and is determined to prove that they are being created by terrorists. Helping to back up this revelation is Oceanographic genius Sophie Marleau(Karine Vanasse). The eastern seaboard is living in fear as McAdams himself is on the run from authorities and terrorists. Other players include: Vlasta Vrana, Christopher Heyerdahl, Ellen David, Bruce Dinsmore and Stephen McHattie.
