A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF DESTRUCTION ON DISPLAY...!

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2018)

Playing like an earlier cousin of The Wave, The Impossible follows a family's survival during a tsunami wave whilst on vacation. Boasting an early turn by future Spiderman Tom Holland, we see him hold his own against Ewan McGregor & Naomi Watts as he navigates his passage from needy, feckless youth to unabashed adult. J.A. Bayona, now holding the reins of the next Jurassic World flick, has a handle on making the epic intimate & the small grandiose. A welcome respite in a cinematic world which gives us tripe like San Andreas & most of Roland Emmerich's disaster output.
