I never saw this film when it ran in theaters last year but have been intrigued by the excellent reviews that it received as well as an Oscar nomination for Naomi Watts. The film is based on a true story of a tourist family in Thailand caught in the destruction and chaotic aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Suffice it to say this movie is an absolute winner. Rated PG-13 and less than 2 hours in length,this film will draw you in from the beginning and keep you there til the end.
The scenes of the tsunami are so well done you have to ask yourself over and over how they filmed this as it is absolutely staggering. Naomi Watts plays the lead of a young physician who is on vacation with her family at a resort literally on the sand where the wave hit. Naomi Watts was brilliant in the role and deserved the nomination as she was not only good but down right believable
I saw the movie yesterday at home On Demand. Worth the $5.99 to watch it in HD. Definitely thumbs up and not to be missed.
watching this film depict the tsunami reminded me of two other films of this nature. Cast Away with Tom Hanks in 2000 with the airplane going down in the ocean and Matt Damon in Hereafter from 2010 which also depicted the Tsunami. These films' depictions of these disasters were so believable that they got my heart rate up but I must admit the depiction of the tsunami in The Impossible will have you gasping for air
