Plot: A family goes on holidays to Thailand  After settling into their villa, they go to the pool to relax. It's perfect until they hear a distant roar. In seconds the tsunami hits and there is no time to run. Maria (Naomi Watts) and her eldest son are swept away and Henry (Ewan McGregor) and the youngest another way. Who will survive?

Comment: This film is based on the 2004 tsunami which happen during the Christmas holidays. 'The Impossible' captures the emotions and brings the true event to screen. The special effects were done very well but it didn't live up to my expectations, somehow. The actors did great and the relationships came across on screen.  Naomi Watts was nominated for an Oscar in this movie (2013).
