What The Burning Sea Is About
An oil platform collapses in the North Sea, and Sofia, an engineer sent out with the search operation, works out that this is not an isolated accident: fissures in the seabed threaten the whole field and there is no time to evacuate the people on the rigs. John Andreas Andersen's film is part of the disaster cycle Norway has kept producing over the last decade, and unlike the American examples it keeps the scale small: no hero, a family instead, and a rescue effort that snags on bureaucracy. Its best quality is holding the oil industry itself responsible. The underwater sequences and the fire work are impressive for the money. The emotional line is predictable. Who it is for: viewers who like Scandinavian disaster films and technical tension. Who it is not for: anyone wanting an original story, since the template is familiar throughout.
