	Media	Author	Review
		Rafael Motamayor Bloody Disgusting	"[It] raises some interesting questions about how we handle trauma, and mental health (...) Unfortunately, just like The Wave, this is first and foremost a disaster movie (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"[A] sequel that’s just as good as the original, in nearly identical ways (...) It’s just intelligent and serious enough to give you your escapist cake"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"'The Quake' offers visceral thrills (...) It's a solid entry in a tired genre."
		Pat Brown Slant	"[The quake] creates a truly suspenseful scenario of vertiginous falls and last-minute saves (...) The hour-plus of drama that precedes [that] moment (...) isn’t convincing enough (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Sandy Schaefer Screen Rant	"Its humanist approach to the genre is refreshing and engaging (...) A worthy continuation of 'The Wave' franchise (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"That's why 'The Quake' is so much fun: Because director John Andreas Andersen (...) realizes that what made the first film work was that it was a very Norwegian take on the classic American disaster movie."
