Hwi notices that the Sea of Japan (known as the East Sea in Korea) is displaying similar activity to what was observed in the Indian Ocean five years prior. Despite his warnings, the Disaster Prevention Agency assures him that South Korea is at no risk, but a large megatsunami forms because of a landslide near Japan and starts to travel towards Busan, where millions of beachgoers are vacationing. Hwi realizes that Busan residents have only 10 minutes to escape. A short earthquake (a minor aftershock) hits Busan before the sea starts receding from the shore, causing mass hysteria as people realize a tsunami is coming. Thousands run for their lives before the wave reaches Haeundae and continues into Busan. Dong-choon, Seung-hyun, his grandmother and others on the Gwangan Bridge are swept away by the sea. A telephone pole collapses, electrocuting everyone in the water, but Man-sik and Yeon-hee survive. Dong-choon awakens on the bridge, but when he tries and fails to light a cigarette and subsequently discards the lighter out of frustration, it falls into petrol leaking from a tanker, causing an explosion that severs the bridge in half, sending shipping containers flying into buildings on the shore.
In English-speaking countries, the film was released as Tidal Wave (an incorrect term as such types of waves are actually caused by gravitational influences, not displacement of water). In the United Kingdom, the DVD was released on October 12, 2009 from Entertainment One.[8]

i checked multiple times within the first five minutes alone that i didn't accidentally click on, like, "watch trailer" instead of "play movie" due to its immediately jarring editing, pacing, tonal shifts. giving it two stars because it at least becomes so-bad-it's-funny once the wave hits (it's a grueling journey getting there though).
I appreciate that a lot of time was spent setting up a connection to the characters. The more recent American disaster movies I've seen just seem to want to jump right into a bunch of CGI disaster effects and it ends up feeling less like an actual story and more like an effects reel. However, the story could have been a little less melodramatic and a bit more interesting but at least it had the effect of making the tidal wave event more thrilling.
The director of Tidal Wave (2009) chose Busan as the city and Haeundae and Gwangalli Beach as the focus for several reasons. First and foremost, Busan is a coastal city located on the southeastern coast of South Korea. As such, it is an ideal location for a disaster film that centers around a tidal wave or a tsunami.
Furthermore, Haeundae and Gwangalli Beach are two of the most popular and famous beaches in Busan. Haeundae Beach is the largest and most well-known beach in the city, with soft, golden sands, clear waters, and a wide range of beach activities. Gwangalli Beach, on the other hand, is a more laid-back and relaxed beach that is known for its beautiful views of the Gwangan Bridge and the city skyline.By focusing on these two beaches, the director was able to create a more immersive and realistic disaster film that viewers could relate to. For many people, the beach is a place of relaxation and fun, but in Tidal Wave, it becomes a place of danger and chaos.Additionally, the director may have chosen Busan and its beaches because of their cultural significance. Busan is a city that is deeply connected to the sea and the fishing industry, and its beaches are a reflection of this. By showcasing these beaches in the film, the director was able to pay homage to the city's history and traditions.

This week on Feature Film Friday, we take a look at a foreign film that made huge waves in Korea over the summer and has brought its momentum to the island of Guam. "Haeundae" is a "disaster" film that boasts amazing special effects, great character development, romance, tons of comic relief and its fair share of drama. Before we get into this Korean blockbuster, let's get familiarized with the disaster genre. Disaster movies are developed by the evolution of their characters (like dramas) but have their plots carried by their action sequences. The premise behind them is typically a man vs nature plotline that tries to show the face of humanity when pitted against the most treacherous of natural disasters - i.e. meteors, tidal waves, earthquakes etc. We've all seen them. Movies like "Armageddon","Deep Impact", "The Day After Tomorrow" and the highly anticipated "2012." However, most of these disaster films fall short in that their character development tends to lack enough volume and thus the viewers tend to lack sympathy when the actual climax of the movie occurs. There are few exceptions, like "Titanic," the three-hour American classic which built up a steamy romance for 90% of the movie before introducing its tragic ending. "Haeundae" follows similar suit.
The contrast between the first hour and the last 30 minutes are like day and night. While the former is filled with tons of comedy and two very interesting love stories, the latter portion is pure action and tragedy. I would put a spoiler alert right here but in a movie about a tidal wave hitting, it should be no suprise that the climax of the film is this very event. That said, the special effects and computer graphics during the last half hour of the film are simply breathtaking. A feat to be admired when you take in the consideration that "Haeundae" cost less than $12 million -- Roughly 20% of what US movies with similar graphic quality are budgeted with.
A deep-sea earthquake occurs, creating a tidal wave that is headed straight for Haeundae, a popular vacation spot on the south coast of Korea, which draws visitors from all over the world. During its peak season, more than a million vacationers pack onto its narrow one-mile strip of sand. While tracking offshore seismic activity, Professor Kim, a marine geologist, recognizes the impending danger of a mega tsunami. He desperately attempts to warn authorities and alert the unknowing vacationers of the 500 MPH destructive force of nature headed their direction.
Long-term shoreline position of Haeundae Beach has been quite stable notwithstanding seasonal oscillatory movement. Bathymetry around Haeundae Beach was surveyed on 7 August 2007 and 12 November 2007 by using an echo-sounder, while wave, tide, and tidal current were measured between the two survey days, so that bathymetric change at Haeundae Beach was obtained from the two surveys. According to the surveys the east part of the beach was eroded, and the west part of the beach was accreted. Measured waves from SSE, SE, ESE, E during the period were stronger than measured waves from S, SSW, SW, WSW. A numerical model system CST3D was adopted to reproduce the bathymetric change at Haeundae Beach during the period. Two representative wave settings are chosen for the period as a minimum number to represent the time-series of wave record, based on equivalent sediment flux concept contained in the CERC formula. Wave field, wave-induced force field, wave-induced current field, sediment transport field, and bathymetric change are computed from individual modules, SWAN, WIF, FLOW, SED in CST3D, respectively. Computed bathymetric change agrees reasonably well with measured one. It is believed that selection of two representative wave settings is useful for simulation of seasonal bathymetric change for fairly straight morphology like Haeundae. CST3D is thought to effectively describe overall seasonal sediment transport pattern and consequent bathymetric change at Haeundae Beach.
Understanding the hydrodynamic conditions in tidal inlets is vital for sustainable coastal management and structural design such as of harbours, sluices and dykes. The development and evolution of tidal inlets is due mainly to the interaction between tidal currents, longshore currents, waves and river flow with sediment transport. In addition, wind also plays an important role by generating local wind-waves that control the near-surface and also by its influence on water circulation. Robbins Passage is located off the far northwest of Tasmania, Australia. Robbins Passage is sheltered from swell, wave actions and uniquely oriented east-west, thus making it open to opposing wind directions and synoptic climate patterns. This study investigates the effect of wind on the hydrodynamic processes operating in Robbins Passage tidal inlet, using a two-dimensional flow model (MIKE21 HD) with high-resolution LiDAR-derived bathymetry. The simulated water levels were compared to water level observations at the eastern and western entrances of the inlet. Results from the calibrated model indicated that the model reproduces hydrodynamic conditions reasonably well (R = 0.89, RMSE = 0.09 at Kangaroo and R = 0.84, RMSE = 0.12 at Howie station). Results suggested that water level variations depend largely on wind direction. A shift in the predominant wind direction from Easterly to Westerly can change the tidal inlet regime from flood-dominated to ebb-dominated. Model results also indicate that a westerly wind stress can accelerate the ebb current and decrease water levels inside the inlet by up to 20% compared to easterly wind forcing, independent of tide. This may have implications for the hydrodynamic response of tidal inlets to changes in regional wind patterns predicted for the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitude tidal inlets. 589ccfa754
