This left a profound impact on us. This emotionally charged film vividly retells the true story of the Bennett family's survival in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Brilliantly portrayed by Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor, and their three sons, the Bennett family's holiday in Thailand turns into a nightmarish ordeal when the tsunami strikes, unleashing chaos and devastation. The disaster scenes are visually staggering, capturing the sheer force and horror of the event.

Naomi Watts delivers a powerhouse performance as Maria, a mother desperately trying to reunite with her family amid the chaos, while Ewan McGregor, as her husband Henry, compellingly depicts the anguish of a father searching for his loved ones. The inclusion of a young Tom Holland adds to the film's stellar cast and crew, who deliver a fantastic collective performance.

The film doesn't shy away from the grim realities of the aftermath, showcasing the resilience, compassion, and selflessness of strangers coming together in the face of tragedy. The cinematography captures the breathtaking landscapes and the devastating aftermath, creating a visually immersive experience.

Composer Fernando Velázquez's evocative score complements the emotional depth of the story, adding a poignant layer to the film. The sound design is particularly effective, immersing the audience in the chaos and confusion of the tsunami's aftermath.

While "The Impossible" is undeniably intense and emotionally charged, it also serves as a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the bonds that hold families together. It's a powerful and thought-provoking cinematic experience that lingers in the mind well after we watched it. We would highly recommend watching this if you haven't.

I don't think I've ever seen Oak this emotional during a reaction. This movie is definitely more than a movie. It's a memorial and such an important story about real people and real triumph. So many people impacted in so many ways. God bless all those people who helped those in need in big and small ways!! This movie always restores my hope in humanity.

You may be pleased to know that Lucas became a doctor and worked during Covid.

i think the scene that got me the most was when ewan was trying so hard to hold himself together to find his family and when he makes that phone call he just lets it all out

This movie gets me every time. Another good ‘disaster’ film is Titanic, would love to see you guys react to it please!

I watched this film a couple of years ago, and though it was a great film and I was glad I watched it, I honestly had no intention of watching it again. I was crying right along with The Oak, definitely a film everyone should see at least once.

When will the YT CUT of this be released?

Oak and I were on the very same boat. The film had my heart racing the entire time and the title is definitely fitting. How does one truly prepare for a disaster like this? It's truly unfathomable. And the loss and courage of everyone calls to my heart. Humans are so amazing and resilient. The cast was also phenomenal in portraying their characters. My heart goes out to everybody.

the real life belon family are true survivors and i love this movies portrayal of them via the bennet family. maria said that when her and her son lucas were holding onto that tree in the middle of the water they were sat in silence for what felt like forever until her son lucas broke the silence and said "im happy im here with you mommy" and even in the midst of the tragedy she describes at as one of the most beautiful moments of her life. im so happy the family survived and my heart goes out to all that lost their lives <3

The director of this film, J. A. Bayona also directed a film that’s on Netflix called Society of the Snow. Fantastic movie! Based on the real survival story of the Uruguayan rugby team that survived the plane crash in the Andes in 1972. Would love to see y'all react to it, it was truly moving!!

This movie is really close to my heart. My island was also affected by the 2004 tsunami. Waves reached upto 3/4 of the entire island. Disclaimer: this might be boring and long as its the middle of the night and i am feeling sentimental. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! We lived near the beach, my mom was with the neighbours when she first noticed the sea "bubbling" and since they hve never seen it do that before, they went to get a closer look. Me (12 y/o) n my little brothers (4 and 5) were watchng tv at home. Whn tht first initial wave hit, my mom ran to us yelling loudly, i left my brothers inside the room (Asian here, since we were all so little, we all slept in one room together) n came out to inspect. My mom immediately pulled me inside the house, closed the front door, the 1st wave had reached us at that point. I ran to close the back door facing the beach, i saw the second wave break the outer wall surrounding our house. N then nothing. I remember being underwater n jst going in circles n then my mom pulling me upto surface. Water level had reached the ceiling at one point. N then minutes later it came down a little bit n mom was able to hold onto the knob of our room door with hand n me with the other. Thr was a moment, a second when my heart dropped realizing i didnt knw whr my brothers were n then the room door broke n me n mom got sucked into the room. We had terrible cuts on arms from that. We surfaced n saw tht both my brothers were safe n on top of the bigger bed. We had 2 beds, one normal western type, the bigger one was traditional type with a woven net. When the second wave hit, they both had immediately climbed onto the beds. Bt the western bed started sinking with my youngest brother on it. The other brother grabbed him by the neck of his shirt n lifted him onto the traditional bed (idk from whr his little self got that courage or strength). It had them old big suitcases under it making the bed into a raft of sorts. N they stayed huddled on there until me n mom got sucked into the room. We were stucked inside the house for a little while, neighbours came to rescue us after hearng our cries. I am so grateful to my mom, she was so brave. She didnt knw to swim, yet she saved me. N my little brothers, bless their little hearts.

Is there something wrong with the sync? Every time I watch something that's watch along you guys always end up behind what I'm on. I'll even pause it and let you guys run ahead of me, press play and within 5 mins my version is back to being ahead. I'm using Netflix at normal playback speed so I'm confused. It happened with gen V and Chernobyl too
