The Impossible (2012)
The Impossible is based on the true story of a family of five separated after the Thai Tsunami hit, unaware who if anyone had survived. There is no lengthy build up that you used to get in the disaster films of the past, and when disaster does strike it is breathtaking. Naomi Watts got plenty of award nominations for the film, but for me the real star is current Peter Parker Tom Holland in his first movie role, reminding me a little of Christian Bale in Empire Of The Sun
For me the footage of the Thailand, and Japan, tsunami's are up there with 9/11 as some of the most shocking, upsetting events ever caught on camera. The film cannot compete with the horror caught in real footage, but this deals more with aftermath and it's impact on one group of individuals. A bit of a tearjerker to say the least.
