The Burning Sea Ratings & Reviews

    A solid step up in scale, and it shows. Kristine Kujath Thorp holds it together with a calm, believable performance, even when things get intense. The visuals are strong and feel more polished this time, with a few sequences that genuinely look great. It leans a bit into familiar territory and drags slightly here and there, but it’s still an easy, engaging watch.

    One of the many disaster movies, but so well done and so emotional that for me it was as if it was the first one.
