Fantastic, heart-rending, movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2013)

The impossible is based on true events (tsunami hit Thailand in 2004, December 26th)watch as you follow the Bennet family who take on the roll of the Belen family who decided to go on a Christmas vacation to a holiday resort on the coast of Thailand. The day after Christmas, the family were relaxing around the pool until, a terrifying roar uprises from the centre of the Earth. As the family, and the people around them, freeze in confusion and fright, a horrific wall of black water races across the hotel grounds; towards them all.
The effects and scenery are outstanding, as the team shoot a giant, man-made, wave (with-out green screen), giving the film an astonishing effect of its own! It almost feels real as you watch the giant monster sweep away the lives of innocent people, destroy the beautiful lands, and take away everything that was once important to the people of Thailand and tourists.
I would highly recommend this film to anyone as it's magnificent and an honour to watch the devastating story of the Belen family. It's one of the most touching, and heart-rending movies i have seen as you follow the family in their journey to survival and finding each other again... impossible.
