The Impossible - 9/10

A masterful movie telling the true story about a family of survivors of the 2004 Tsunami.

The Effects are great and the Perfectly executed.The Tsunami really shows the power and devastation of the natural disaster while looking fantastic.

The Acting is pretty good too. Tom Holland is fantastic as the eldest son struggling with the conflict of Survival and Helping. Naomi watts was also good after a pretty rough start, I thought any way. McGregor also plays his part well too but his suffers because of what has come before and how his journey unfolds.

The Cinematography was fantastic IMO. although there are a few close up shots which I thought could have been less.

Overall it is an Interesting and captivating movie showing the pains and emotion this family endures while also showing the massive devastation and scale of this Natural disaster.

I would recommend. Even if just to watch the Tsunami.
