Story Line For The Impossible | |
| A regular family - Maria (Naomi Watts), Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their three kids - travel to Thailand to spend Christmas. They get an upgrade to a villa on the coastline. After settling in and exchanging gifts, they go to the pool, like so many other tourists. A perfect paradise vacation until a distant noise becomes a roar. There is no time to escape from the tsunami; Maria and her eldest are swept one way, Henry and the youngest another. Who will survive, and what will become of them? | |

Review For The Impossible | |
| The tsunami sequence is amazing, right up there with the one Clint Eastwood staged in Hereafter. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor This is an unforgettable tribute to the determination of a very special family. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Naomi Watts gives one of her finest, most physically commanding turns. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post Although it's ostensibly based on true events, The Impossible is not so much an inspiring tale of survival as it is an action flick. Bilge Ebiri-New York Magazine While it may have been changed for the screen, this story of a family's ordeal is one from which any parent - any person, really - can't turn away. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald This is a movie about the will to survive that physically acknowledges that will may not be enough. Tom Long-Detroit News South East Asian tsunami survival saga is a test of endurance Don Groves-sbs.com.au The most challenging aspect of disaster movies to make the disaster believable. But performances aren't all about screaming, and this cast does a remarkable job of convincing us of their complexities and humanity Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile There are many powerful scenes in this true life and death scenario about the impact of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami to one family, but none can match the potency of the scene when Henry (McGregor) borrows a mobile phone from a stranger to ring home Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Profound & Touching Diana Saenger-ReviewExpress.com [B]rings a new heart to the disaster film, focusing not on the large scale of physical destruction but on the small scale of fragile, traumatized people amidst the unimaginable scale of the catastrophe... MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher Bayona has the uncanny ability to put viewers in the moment, allowing them to vividly experience the family's struggles. But for all his formidable skills and artistic vision, his compassion is distressingly myopic. Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) A more accurate name for this New Age disaster movie might be 'The Lucky' or 'The Coincidental.' If we accept the Brits' survival as something miraculous, what does that imply about the tens of thousands of Asians who were wiped out? John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) ... a story of resiliency and humanity that is somewhat overwrought but emotionally exhausting and ultimately powerful. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com The tsunami is easily more effective than anything to come out of a Roland Emmerich disaster sequence. Nick Nunziata-CHUD The Impossible has enough going for it to earn a mild recommendation, but it's unfortunate that it ends up self-destructing as rapidly as one of those Mission: Impossible messages. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing The massive numbers of people in an overflowing hospital with overwhelmed staff is nearly as gut wrenching as the disaster that created this landscape of human debris. Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly What reeks most about The Impossible is that it mistakes adventurous titillation for humanitarian mourning. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth Nothing beats God's eye for scale and perspective. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray Yet one more example of a real-life story someone thought would "make a great movie," "The Impossible" is as flat and predictable as they come. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com The Impossible takes the breath away with its powerful restaging of the catastrophe; but if the wave's visceral impact knocks you off your feet then it's the story's emotional undertow that sweeps you away. Jason Best-Movie Talk Forget National Lampoon, this is the real vacation from Hell! Kam Williams-AALBC.com ...always aware of how this traumatic experience would be filtered through this particular family. Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm Still a boy but having to harvest the strength of an adult, Lucas carries the emotions of the audience with him. We cry when he cries...cheer when he cheers. Michael A.
