  • Emotional natural-disaster indie film

    The Impossible had me teared up it was a film that didn't do anything bad with the underrated genre or any other cliches that appear in other disaster movies but this film has brilliant acting, neat visuals and the powerful performences by Ewan McGregor and Tom Holland who would later be Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

  • I loved it

    It was a very good true story about a family who was on vacation when a terrible tsunami hit the coast of Southeast Asia.

    This is talent right here! This movie was based off of the 2004 Tsunami and it was done well! When I first watched this movie,I did not know the oldest son was Tom Holland! When I watched it again, I yelled “That’s Tom Holland!” I loved this movie and I love Tom Holland! 5 Stars!

  • Everyone should watch

    I can’t believe it took me so long to watch this! It’s so amazing, the story behind it and how well every little bit of the story is thought of to build up to another part. The kids were so great in this movie, and everyone actually. I suggest everyone to see this movie as it is so sad but amazing

  • Bleh

    When I mean “Bleh”, I don’t hate this movie, it’s good and I like tsunamis. But also when I mean “Bleh”, it means some parts are really disgusting, like the one part it shows Naomi’s leg cut, or the time where the son gave the two lady’s the fruit in the hospital, and started chocking and then she had to put that string thing out of her throat. I know this is based on a true story. But...
