| The Impossible |
I thought tsunami isn't that serious before I've seen this movie. If you ever saw thriller or horror films you probably know that feeling when you want to close eyes, stop film or turn your head away from the screen. Well this film isn't scary but it has some really hard to watch moments.
Also now I'm certain that tsunami is horrible natural disaster and I'm kind a happy that I live in Ukraine where this cataclysm don't occur.
This film about 2004 tsunami that hit south eastern Asia coasts, destroyed everything it could reach and took almost quarter of a million lives. This terrible disaster is described with one family of five people that came to Thailand on vocation.
The family consists of mother - Maria (Naomi Watts), father - Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their three children: Lucas, Tomas and Simon.
It was the day after The Christmas Eve, they opened their presents and went to the pool and suddenly it happened. Enormous amount of water hit the beach smashing houses, trees, people and everything else on it's way and bringing all these things with water into the jungle and then after a while the water came back to the ocean, cousing almost the same destruction but from the other side.
During this events camera shoots over and under the water showing you various things that hit people and it;s really hard to watch.
After the water came back to ocean the family is separated and they didn't know if the members of the other part survived the tsunami.
Probably I would stop here because I don't want spoil anything else and I think that this film is worth watching.
