La tormenta del siglo

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.

First: It's known that animals do sense drastic changes and danger from weather. So where's the problem with that?

Second, we get so see all kinds of rubbush from Hollywood. Whatz wrong with this one?

It's an action-drama, not a documentary.

And for a based-on-true-events movie it sticks pretty close to reality (compared to Hollywood).

I think it had all I expect from a movie of that kind. It's a nice popcorn-and-beer movie for boring days and for a German TV-flick the CGI was extremely good.

So ppl, stop complaining. It's not that bad at all.

Have a look at the DU BIST DEUTSCHLAND campaign again and try to understand what it means. Germans just love to complain. It's a pain in the ass.

After having watched the first hour of this "completely underdeveloped script turned into a movie"-experience I can warn anyone against waisting time for such a cliché-ridden trip. Well, how do you set up your average "if mother nature unleashes her forces of destruction-epic? - You take a tragic love story; - the dog (or any other animal) that gets terribly nervous in face of the upcoming mayhem and ... - The persons that fail to realize and act upon the danger.

Some humour added, and you would have the perfect PERFECT STORM / Armageddon / DANTES PEAK / VOLCANO - spoof...

Avoid it whenever you can!

An interesting human story packed in a dramatic countdown of the greatest nature catastrophe from Hamburg in 1962. Hundreds of people were killed. I was surprised how real the special effects were executed. Some too long paced scenes but filled with some good sentimental moments. All the actors made a good job. Watch it you have really nothing other to do. 6/10

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...
