The Wave is an interesting film starring Justin Long as a relatively square insurance broker who takes a powerful unknown hallucinogenic and as a result of this, experiences some pretty frightful hallucinations which are deftly portrayed and are intensely believable. However, even though the hallucinations are portrayed as well as you could expect from a B movie, it isn't without its sticking points. What lets this film down is the execution of the storyline. While the overarching plot of the film is a relatively coherent one, the film muddily flits from one aspect of the story to the other, never making the film quite as believable as it could or should have been. The Wave allows too many loose ends, and the ending instead of completing the plot asks more questions than answers. Overall this is a decent film with some intense and intriguing scenes, however the execution of these themes lets the film down.

Pretty entertaining although weird. Think of Alice In Wonderland crossed with The Hangover and you've got it. I enjoyed it and there's actually a moral in there for good measure. Good acting and effects and it bounces along. If you want to relax with some popcorn and a few tinnies this is the film for you.

Everything is so unexpected. I never heard of this movie before but Justin Long always plays awkward yet likeable characters and the way he is thrown into this tornado of events just makes you keep wanting to watch more and more. You are in it with him and it's one hell of a trip, literally.

This is a great movie to watch with open minded friends, with people who have ever tripped or just alone. I saw that trailer at a local Indy theater and decided to order on Xbox when it dropped. So to start I would say it's honestly a solid 7.5. Justin Long turns in a role that suits his style of acting perfectly. The build up is great and the film is extremely hard to predict. As for Donald faison he personifies the words "loyal friend" and delivers a fun preformance. The movie does come on in waves and leaves certain things to interpretation. Definitely worth at least a try for the efforts turned in on the visuals alone. Thanks for the read!

Story itself is so messy that a guy took social drugs and illusions appeared. The main stream is to find his lost wallet and reveal the fact what he took. It's so not funny and not sci fic and barely a drama. Looking at that acting makes me sick.

I happened on this because I recognized Justin Long from Live Free or Die Hard (2007. He is a very good actor and carries this movie really well. I really enjoyed it. It's a story that is uniquely written. I felt like it was kind of like, "Walk of shame" (on drugs.) If you've never been 'enlightened', you will find this movie a very scary horror and a prime example of why no one should ever do any drugs EVER. If you HAVE been enlightened / experimental, you will be VERY entertained and also be reminded why you sure as hell don't do them anymore. This is a creative, scary and thrilling ride (if not a very detailed and un-nerving flashback.) Don't choke on your popcorn while your laughing and gasping, "Oh hell! I been there!"

This is the kind of movie that stays with you for days after you watch it. It's not a straight linear path, but once it reaches the end, it all becomes clear. You have to just sit back and enjoy the ride, without asking the who, what, where, when, right out the gate. I absolutely loved it, and plan on re-watching it right away.

Portraying what it's like to take a psychedelic the film itself needs a grounding in reality. Confusing to say the least.
