Review

The movie i've chosen to review is called "The Impossible".  This movie is written by Sergio G. Sánchez and María Belón. It's directed by J. A. Bayona and stars Naomi Watts (Maria), Ewan McGregor (Henry), Tom Holland (Lucas), Samuel Joslin (Thomas), and Oaklee Pendergast (Simon). This movie is based on the true story of a Family's experiences when they encountered the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It seemed like a perfect trip to Thailand for the Christmas holiday's until the tsunami hit.  Maria (Naomi Watts) and her eldest son Henry (Tom Holland) are swept away alone as Henry (Ewan McGregor) and the other two boys are swept away together. It becomes a story of survival and hope. This is a very powerful and emotional movie. Aside from telling the story of the family it also opens up your eyes to how great of a impact these disasters can cause. It makes you realize how lucky you are to be living in a safe place and that you shouldn't take anything for granted. This movie was nominated for numerous awards and also won a few. I really enjoyed this movie and would defiantly recommend it to others.
