When I first watched "Tidal Wave: No Escape" I swore that my first viewing would be my last. The only good thing about this "movie" was that it finally ended.

Just a few stupid things I noticed that Hollywood would call Artistic License, I call it "writers smoking crack". The long Beach Harbor where The Queen Mary is docked is surrounded on either 2 or 3 sides by a penninsula. The ship is also stuck about 10 feet in the mud. No way a wave could have crossed all that and still knocked that ship over. Also when he steals the small motor boat, A) when they are heading away from shore, it shows open sea. Wrong! There is land there. B) If that boat had tried to climb a real tidal wave, it would not have had the mass or the power. It would have been slapped back like a bug, not to mention not being able to go through it and jump out the other side. And finally, if they created a second wave to collide with the first, they would NOT have canceled each other out, they would have passed through each other and kept going. Also if you were watching the two waves from shore from the angle they saw them, they were heading North and South. What would have happened in San Diego? A magic turn East? LOL. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid Hollywood thinks we are by passing this crap off on us. These actors must really be desperate for a paycheck to embarrass themselves like that.

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.

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.

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.
