2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

gerti-langbrecht I really liked the movie and I was surprised to see such quality on a German TV movie. Considering other RTL, Pro7 or Sat 1 produced movies, this one was a big shot. Featuring nearly all of the great German TV and cinema actors (Lauterbach, Götz George, Elmar Wepper and many others) the movie had all it takes for a fine popcorn evening at home. Although the first part tended to get a bit boring, preparing the upcoming catastrophic events the part II was mostly fast paced and exciting. I also think the music helped a lot, also the visual effects guys did an outstanding job. However, I hope that there will be more German movies in that size produced in the future.

Noegi I have watched the movie "Sturmflut" and it was OK. Better than the other stuff "on air" at the same time. It was predictable,full of clichés and sometimes with very bad cgi BUT it was only for a TV audience. And i think for that audience it was entertaining, although the story wasn't clever and the ending was too sudden. On the other hand you have an all-star team of German actors (Jan Josef Liefers,Benno Führmann,Heiner Lauterbach,Götz George just to name a few) who were enjoyable just to see them acting together. If you haven't expected much this flick keeps you entertained for 2 evenings more than the other garbage on TV. Worth a watch on (free) TV...

no_picture_perfect Yes I have only seen part 1 so far. But I certainly hope that it will be getting better with the next part. But so far it does a good job on the Sci Fi but fails on a personal level so far.I know I am supposed to care about who the bride will choose. Should be voting for the poor sailor who didn't have a chance because his letters were hidden. Should care for the people around them...but they make it tough to really care for them with a writing style that would make the daily soap proud. Problems is...I don't like the daily soaps..never did never will. So that all in all the first part was only interesting for the waves getting higher and the waiting for the big ones.Frankly the Docu that they brought after-wards about the events was a lot more catching and showed how much cheesy the movie paled in comparison to RL

kadajawi The movie has nice special effects (especially when considering that a lot was computer generated, even rain..., and that in a TV movie), decent acting, nice sets and OK camera-work, soundtrack etc. But then the script... How could they? I could live with the clichés, but the love story was terrible. Bollywood can do it more believable. And the people who had to die... why? Overall I would say that you can actually watch the movie if you have nothing else to do, but just don't expect too much (but who would anyway when watching a RTL TV production?). It seems to me that the producers wanted something serious, if you consider the effort, the details they cared about. Something like Titanic (historical event + love story) but in failed. 5 out of 10, for the effort and the missing urge to switch off.
