comment
In Norwegian, Skjelvet. A Norwegian disaster movie, and sequel to The Wave (2015).Three years after the rockslide in Geiranger, geologist Kristian Eikjord is divorced from his wife and separated from his kids, living in seclusion from the outside world due to his developing paranoia of disasters happening everywhere he goes.After a former co-worker dies in what the Norwegian Press calls a freak accident, Kristian goes to Oslo to investigate, and finds out that he was studying the possibility of an earthquake in Oslo. Researching it further, Kristian makes several shocking discoveries that suggest a massive quake may soon hit Oslo. His fears realized all too late, he is caught in a race against time to save the ones he loves before Oslo crumbles to the ground.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Kristian says he doesn’t blame Idun for leaving, but she points out that he left them, and they miss him. The pair are on the way to reconciliation by the second half of the film. Unfortunately, she doesn’t survive until the end.

Take My Hand!: Kristian, to Idun, in the elevator shaft. Unfortunately, he loses his grip, and she plunges to her death. Marit tries to catch an injured woman before she can fall out of a swiftly-tilting building, but also fails.

comment
Action Survivor: Everyone, but especially Marit. The Eikjords already survived a tsunami (barely, in Kristian’s case), but this is Marit’s first major natural disaster. She spends much of the film’s second half protecting Julia, and saves both the girl and Kristian from plunging out the window of a tilted skyscraper.

Artistic License – Physics / Rule of Drama: The high-rise hotel that Idun, Kristian and Julia are trapped in after the quake takes *massive* damage from a nearby skyscraper collapsing into it, but somehow, the remains manage to keep from collapsing and taking out the main cast. However, it's partial collapse puts all of them in grave danger which Idun does not survive.
