A must-see movie

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2013)

My mom (76), who never watches movies, my 12 year old and myself were equally impressed by this movie. The acting was exceptional, especially the oldest son. I wouldn't recommend that little ones see it. But it definitely touched my heart as a mom and was a testament to the dedication and love that's possible within a family unit. I experienced horror, laughter, tears, and a myriad of other emotions while watching. The characters were compelling and definitely award-worthy. I was also overwhelmed by the power of Mother Nature and how small and helpless we are in the face of it. The special effects were convincing. Just unbelievable! This movie truly conveys the destruction wrought by a tsunami both on land - completely changing the landscape - and the human body. Enjoy!
