The Impossible

"Gut wrenching thriller that will have you in tears. Based on a true story of a family caught in the 2004 tsunami."

"😞 I was glad to read all the positive comments on here about how well the subject matter was handled, with it not being melodramatic… but, yeah. looks like a tearjerker."

"I hope to never experience a tsunami first hand. If the depiction of the tsunami in this film is accurate, it looks powerfully horrendous. Based on a true story, this movie is a heart wrenchingly sad story of a natural disaster in Thailand that rips apart a family on vacation during Christmas. Well acted by everyone involved. A great watch. 8.5/10"

"This movie is fantastic. "

"understanding medicine the dramatization was just too corny. sorry but being impaled, having seaweed in your lungs and having a giant open hole in your leg soaking in septic water for days on end and you just miraculously survive a life threatening surgery. it was completely deus ex machina and I felt did a disservice to the story of this tragedy. add on the whitewashing and lack of thai actors I feel it was really disrespectful to the fallen. should have been a 3-hour film and much more complex. "

"Tom Hollond should have been nominated for an Oscar."

"True story. Heartbreaking."

"Good Hollywood version of events based on a true story. Typically, these are heavy on the mellow drama and dramatic effects, but this film reigns those in pretty well. The acting is solid."

"This Movie Is Incredible The Acting Will Have You In Tears So Beautifully Done You Will Think That You Are Part Of This Experince "

"10/10 An excellent cast. True stories are always the most devastating and it's interesting to watch a family and a nation react to such a tragedy."
