The Impossible

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

In 2004, a family's Christmas holiday in paradise turns to disaster when a tsunami strikes Thailand. Film makers smartly focus more on one family's ordeal of survival than the carnage around them. Naomi Watts & Ewan McGregor give tremendous performances. The young actors that play their children are adorable and amazing. Amongst the pain and suffering are some touching moments of humanity. The special effects are remarkable in this true story about hope and not giving up.

Alien gives it 3 "Maria's story" stars out of 4.
