A Gripping Tale Of Emotions.

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2013)

For the first time, I actually cried after watching a Hollywood movie. The level of emotions depicted in this tale of a family braving the 2004 tsunami is absolute. 10 on 10.
Director Juan knows how to make his audience gripped to the seat. Just like his previous venture, he is once again successful in creating a terror-based movie which induces thought, pain and utter cinema-feel.
Naomi Watts is par excellence, so are the kids and McGregor has evolved after his Salmon fishing in the Yemen. I was awestruck at the minimal use of CGI and how the plot revolves on the family's plight than showing the tsunami aftermath.
A great entertainer, The Impossible is one of the best films of 2012. I wonder why it didn't get nominated for AMPAS' Best Picture!
WATCH OUT FOR: Naomi Watts.
