Tidal Wave: No Escape

Rating:
Summary: Silly tele-disaster flick awash with stupidity
Review: Corbin (The Dentist) Bernson is a famous scientist who, do to some ethical and emotional trauma, has turned his back on the world to play with his pet dog and surf. Too bad his past as a super-duper weapons designer catches up with him as man made tidal waves threaten life as we know it in the U.S. of A! Julianne Phillips shows up to provide love interest and Gregg (Body Double) Henry is the hissable government goon that is convinced that it's all really Corbin's doing. Laurence Hilton Jacobs (of Welcome Back Kotter fame) plays an FBI agent, but since he's the token black he doesn't make it to the half way point of this made for television disaster thriller. The special effects are, naturally, TV movie level so they're pretty darn bad (computer generated super waves and water blown out of hoses) and the acting only a little bit better. These people need better agents if they are getting cast in junk like this.

Summary: Review of Tidal Wave: No Escape
Review: DVD features: None
First off the dvd features are bad. Only 2.0 sound english and scene selection make this movie already seem bad. The movie is about a terrorist who is making tidal waves and only 2 people can stop them. This movie lacks character development and and a series of dialogue that is uninteresting and intended to explain how tidal waves are possibly made. Some of the dialogue gets too technical thus making the film lame and boring. Next the special effects are weak and action is little in this film. This movie features mild violence and disaster moment but I would recommend this as a family movie (this movie has no rating). I would highly recommend you don't buy this movie.

Summary: It's sad to see...
Review: Let alone poor cast and ideas; and I even don't speak about level of special effects... but you can't see more wrong presentation of how tidal waves appear. Authors of this movie could do just a little research about it. I would give it 0 stars...

Summary: Pathic
Review: Or you out of your mind! I watched about 5 mins. and I'm speachless. That was the worse movie I ever "started" to watch and couldn't get to the controls fast enough to turn it off. Throw them away, please.

Review: Overall I'd say it was a good movie. Good plot and effects, but too much technical jargon for the average movie watcher. This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Review: This movie is amongst the worst "action" films ever! There's barely any action, too much scientific talk, lame plot, and to top it all off--the story setting is in California yet the coverbox for the film shows the East River in New York City! There ya have it.
P.S. I gave it one star just for its effort in "trying" to entertain the viewer.

Summary: CORBIN GETS WET
Review: TIDAL WAVE is an average disaster flick with acceptable CGI effects. Corbin Bernsen plays the hero, a "retired" military man who has made nuclear warheads for various shady undercover endeavors. His nemesis is Gregg Henry, playing a limping smart mouth who is sure that Bernsen is the one responsible for a series of devastating tsunamis. Julianne Phillips (Skin Deep) plays a potential love interest who joins Bernsen's side. Harve Presnell (Unsinkable Molly Brown) plays Harvey Schutt, the mentor of Bernsen.
The movie lags at times, and inevitably Bernsen and Phillips must find someone who will believe that they are not the ones causing the tsunamis.
Laurence Hilton-Jacobs (Room 222) plays a veteran cop who vacillates between belief and disbelief.
Certainly not a POSEIDON ADVENTURE or TOWERING INFERNO, but for a low budget flick, it's okay.
