celery

idk why im also watching it on netflix, but i get it synced up and then the next thing i know ur guys movie is like 7 seconds ahead of mine, idk if its just cuz mine isnt on a vpn, but its been happening a couple times

Katie Holmes

for some reason their vimeo video like paused twice for me and i had to pause netflix until it synced back up lmao i was like "why aren't they freaking about that insane shot"

celery

mine sometimes buffers but it wasn’t pausing at all, theirs was just getting really ahead of mine it’s weird and i don’t think it was anything i was doing so i’m confused

This was happening to me too! I’m glad someone else experienced this bc I thought something was wrong on my end lol

This film is incredible. Those little boys jumping off the truck and screaming for their brother turns me into an absolute mess.

celery

no it’s happened a couple times to me too, i’m not sure why though unfortunately

I think it's just different versions of the film, there may be extra scenes or whatnot

I watched this with my seniors last semester, and there was not a dry eye in the entire classroom

Yes, I didn’t know if it was just me, every second I sync it up it skips like 10 seconds ahead

Megan the Librarian

Mine too. I honestly think the video is sped up a little bit. Like it's going at a slightly faster playback speed. Because I was watching it on a DVD and it did the same thing. I had to pause every 30 seconds or something to make sure it didn't keep getting ahead.

Omg, I thought I was going crazy. It does seem like their video is slightly sped up. I watched for up to 26 minutes and I'm very tired of trying to sync it every few minutes. I just want to sit back and watch it but it's driving me insane that their reactions don't match up with the movie after like 10 seconds of when I sync it back up

celery

i’m pretty good at guessing when it’s synced up, but it was a little annoying lmfao, tho it’s not their fault

ParkMinJeon

Nooo , y’all responses jus BUMMED me out 😭 I was so pumped to watch this with them. I guess there’s no point in trying to watch the full watchalong if I gotta go through constant pausing and being scenes ahead or scenes behind.. damn. That suuucks. 😩😭

ParkMinJeon

I’m curious why you guys chose to watch it on the UK Netflix instead of using a site in the US like Hulu or YouTube 😭😭 the watchalong isn’t working out for a lot of us because of the UK version is sped up and has scenes removed. I’m so distraught and sad man 😭

Megan the Librarian

It was annoying, but not that bad. What I did was watch them on my laptop and literally just hit the pause button for a few seconds every minute or so. It was never perfectly synced, but as long as my version was slightly ahead and they weren't reacting to stuff I hadn't seen yet, it was mostly fine. Plus, every 10 minutes or so, they show the video on their end so you can make sure it's not too far off. Extra work, but still worth it to see their full reaction.

Katie Holmes

okay i didn’t have to do all that? mine was perfectly synced most of the time i just noticed it must have paused and played again at some point so i paused mine until the timecode matched up and then i noticed it again towards the end i literally saw their video pause and then resume but it only happened to me twice and was pretty much synced the whole time i’m not sure what’s going on with everyone else where it was going out of sync every minute??? the netflix version they were watching (perhaps uk has a different version) worked with mine bc i also have a vpn and used the uk netflix.

Katherine Rodriguez

Great reaction guys, but ur version definitely had scenes cut because I couldn't sink at all with u guys

S.W.

Maybe you guys can include links to the actual site we can sync with? I’m still off every time I start it at a random site.

Hi! Firstly thank you for another great reaction! Yes this movie is definitely a tearjerker, I lose it every time Ewan McGregor's character breaks down during the telephone call. To answer some of your questions regarding the disaster (if someone already did I apologize in advance) The Tsunami didn't just affect Thailand but a dozen or more countries along the south/Southeast Asia coastlines. Its estimated that over 227,000 lives were lost. The tsunami(s) itself was a product of a 9.1 earthquake when the Sunda Megathrust (fault line of 3,300 miles) ruptured 810 miles at 30 miles below sea level. The earthquake was also the longest quake with a record lasting time of 8-10 minutes. So basically the seismic energy that was pent up needed to be released so once it was, it created 30- 100 ft waves (100 ft was epicenter of quake),traveling at over 500 MPH. Imagine it as not a couple, nor a hundred but thousands of A-Bombs being set off. That's essentially what that quake did. A lot of the countries where hit at varying times some even 6-7 hours after the earthquake. I know information like that can change so if I got anything wrong or if anyone has anything to add please do! :)
