Reviewer notes
Recommended64/100 A biographical, survive-against-the-odds film about a family who were at the Orchid Resort in Thailand when the Boxing Day Tsunami hit. This is a great film for its type with fantastic acting, especially a teenage Tom Holland who supplied his role with far more depth than you'd expect. I don't normally like survival films and watched this one because of my curiosity over the event.…
RecommendedMovies like this make me very sad. 😭😭😭 They also frighten me. The acting is superb.
RecommendedAfter a bit of a bumpy flight to Thailand, a family arrive in Phuket for what ought to have been a dream holiday. Well mother nature had other plans and a earthquake far out at sea generated a series of tsunamis that we now know killed almost a quarter of a million people.…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersAnother amazing story based in truth. I think it's called The Impossible because those sets must have been near impossible.
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersIncredible story with remarkable performances by Naomi Watts and Tom Holland and amazing staging. However, Bayona repeats the same mistakes from other movies like "The Orphanage" when he creates an uneasy situation through some unexplained weird behavior.

Moment I cherished .The Impossible is an incredibly intense and emotional movie. What affected me most was watching a family separated by the tsunami desperately trying to find one another and survive. It shows the power of family, courage, hope, and compassion during an unimaginable disaster, and it left me appreciating the people we love even more.
