Overrated

Rating: 4/10 (7 January 2013)

I didn't expect much from this movie based on the trailer, and also because this type of movie is somewhat "predictable by nature"... It tells the story of one family becoming a victim of the 2004 tsunami in South-East Asia. The film didn't even meet my modest expectations.
The main problem with this film is that it does little more than tell the story of exactly one family. Little attention is given to everyone else, which is mind boggling given the magnitude of the catastrophe. Even some members of the family are left out a little bit, and the movie concentrates mainly on few characters.
The other problem is that the film is too slow-paced and boring. It should have been cut much shorter or even better there should be more content.
One weird thing is that there is not much death to be seen in this movie, but still the amount of gore is plenty, courtesy of mostly one main character.
