The Impossible

The Gist: A vacation in Thailand suddenly turns into a horrific nightmare for a family caught in the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

Another movie based on a true story and another incredible story of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love.

Naomi Watts is fantastic as the mother separated from almost her entire family and severely wounded, who comes very close to dying.

Ewan McGregor, another excellent actor, makes you feel the pain and heartache of every step he takes in the desperate quest to reunite his family or all that survived.

It's impossible to guess what it must have felt to be in the middle of such a catastrophe, but this movie gives us an idea.

The Bottom Line: I had been wanting to watch this movie for a long time and wasn't disappointed. Watts and McGregor are incredible and the feelings of sorrow and loss are tangible. A must-see.

Grade: 8
