Absolutely awesomely frightening depiction of the tsunami which rocked the South Pacific in (very) late 2004!...
A little lengthy yet very well written, acted and directed...
The (several minutes) tsunami scene is a must see!...

Excellent! Great acting and I appreciated the emphasis on helping others! We couldn’t figure out what it was the mother coughed up; she must have swallowed something?
Highly recommended!

Any film that has not one, not two, but three Dondi's has got to be an abomination.
The only hope for redemption would have been a variation on the avalanche movie "Force Majeure": Hank (Ewan McGregor) would have seen the Tsunami coming…

This isn’t one of those full blown Hollywood natural disaster films. This is a human interest story, a true story about a family who were in Thailand for Christmas when a tsunami hits. It does have harrowing scenes of the tsunami’s…

Surprised I missed this one when it came out. It gets intense and I occasionally had to close my eyes when the gore was too realistic. Overall, though, I thought it was great. Naomi Watts gives a wonderful performance.

Amazing true story of one family's survival during a tsunami in Thailand. Terrific acting, wonderful cinematography. I have seen this story twice, once as a T.V. special and then the dvd from the library. Definately worth watching and be…
As I recall, this story was based on an actual Spanish family and the characters were made British for the purposes of the movie. A combination of a superb script, great acting, and actual footage of the Tsunami that nobody will ever…

This movie had me in tears by the time credits were rolling. The Impossible is such an inspiring and deeply moving story based on real events of the 2004 tsunami. Naomi Watts and Tom Holland were amazing in this movie and I would recommend…

This is a 2012 English-language Spanish disaster drama directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, based on the experience of María Belón and her family in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
It is a heart-breaking, mind-boggling and unbelievable…

Much better than I expected it to be. Riveting especially the scenes of mother and son being swept away and tossed about in the rushing debry-filled water -- put me on the edge of my seat. Amazing determination and survival. Evan…

Riveting and suspenseful. Heart-wrenching. My 8-yr old son became upset while watching so I had to turn it off but watched it again later when he was asleep. Hard to believe that it is a true story. Made me appreciate where we live and…
A super emotional and suspensful story of one family's involvement in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami aftermath. Puts you on the edge of your seat. It actually made me think of what I would do if I were in the same situation.

Excellent movie. Captured the true to life experience of one surviving family. If I was mortally wounded I would appreciate transportation to medical aid. No complaints here.

Simply an unforgettable movie which shows the compassion we all have when we are really in need of help. I want to warn you, if you are like me and the sight of blood can make you turn blue, then skip this one. The movie is very intense…
