Matilda Jones it was SO GRAPHIC. I just watched it last night and I couldn't watch several scenes due to wounds that were shown. But I'm very squeamish with that stuff.
This movie is incredible. Tom truly did a great job acting. It’s a very heartwarming story. I spent the entire movie crying, and the fact that it was based off a true story made it more heartwarming. Truly a miracle that the whole family survived 🥺
I watched a scene from the movie some times. 1st time: okay 2nd time: that kid was intelligent 3rd time: wait that kid looks like Tom Holland 4th time: wait that kid MUST be Tom Holland 5th time: Yup, definitely Tom Holland 6th time: Wait... 7th time: IS THAT EWAN McGREGOR!? (Hello there!)
Christmas 2004, we decided to delay our trip to Phuket by one week because we were enjoying Sydney. Imagine if we weren't enjoying Sydney... I think about that so much...
Bananasauce public doesn't really relate to drama-disaster movies , as they can only digest one as a exposition, and the other as a straight forward drama ..and for whatever reason , they give Jennifer Lawrence EVERYTHING ... she really has gotten to work with good directors....
Every time I watch the trailer I cry. I was there when it happened!! I was on a liveaboard, diving in the Similans (in the Andaman sea, Indian Ocean). On the day it happened, our boat was heading back to Phuket but we were told to stay away and remain out at sea. At the time, we were told giant tidal waves have hit Phuket cos of earthquake in Indonesia. The next day, we managed to get back to Phuket and flew back to Singapore. I only found out how bad it was when I saw the news - BBC & CNN when I got home. We were very very lucky. My heart goes out to all the victims and their loved ones.
It's kind of annoying that almost everybody in the comments keeps saying "Oh look it's Obi wan and Spiderman" When those two characters has nothing to do with the movie
my Thai girlfriend and I are both in Thailand 🇹🇭 right now and just watched the movie ... she remembers that incident and she is a few hours away from there 😢
Guys, I just watched the movie and wow I’m touched, it’s so beautiful (no spoilers), and so much perseverance! So much! And the fact that it’s a true story just melts my heart even more, I heard that in the real life situation over a quarter of a million died is this tsunami! God bless everyone who went through that situation! God bless you, now I’m not gonna lie , if I didn’t know that it was a true story I wouldn’t have cried. But, because it was true it really touched my heart. Now I have been in a tsunami a very little one and I almost shattered my leg, because I saw all the water in the sea disappearing and I was thinking ‘What is going on hear’? And I looked closer. Big mistake when you see the water disappearing , you run and run and run and run until you physically can’t go any more, I have done years and years of training with my personal trainer. So I ran for my life, picked up my litter brother and sister and ran. I shouted for my parents to run and they did so. The tsunami hit me hit me hard, I nearly shattered my left leg, however my right leg broke, I’m fine now because that was 1 year ago. But I covered my siblings bodies under my’n to protect my family. For me nothing can over top love and family. If you red all this you are a true trooper and a powerful person.

pvriscillaaa I just watched it last night and I have NEVER cried so much ever for a movie. I woke up right now with a splitting headache because of all the crying I did. They did a great job of making you feel like you were there and all the helplessness. Apparently around 240,000 people died from that event. So incredibly awful and sad.
Is there any way I can dm you the link for the movie in youtube? I would post it on this comment section but I pretty sure the website is going to get shut down if I post it here. Btw, it is a really good website with excellent quality.
This was one of the hardest movies I have ever watched. It was so incredibly intense and heartbreaking. I feel like I held my breath for the majority of the movie. It was rough.

There were so many times in this movie I thought the mom was about to die, and when the two younger brothers, Lucas and the dad were in the same place but didn’t see each-other I was gonna scream but then they found each-other and I was so happy I cried
I watched it back in 2013 for the first time. I was alone and bored so I browsed for a few movies and decided on this one. It turned out to be a feel trip, made me shed a few tears. I then decided to play it for my whole family at a family gathering and proceeded to watch the copious amount of tears, hand holdings and embraces from all of them. Truly a sight to behold, so much so that it is still burned in my mind.
This year 26 december 2017!!! - Death anniversary 13 year for thailand 5,395 dead , 2,817 missing and more :(((( Our hearts are saddened by your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you
A storm surge is actually way worst than of a tsunami. We were not clearly taught before typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines. Now, we are in ruins. this movie shows how crucial it is to be afloat in a body of water with debris in it, struggling for your lives and saving your loved ones. Worst part is when the water is gone and all you see is a plateau that was once a prosperous city. Help save the Philippines. We are in ruins. :(
I just watched this movie, and I recommend it to anyone that is considering, or even not considering watching it. It is full of so many heart wrenching moments. The fact that it is a true story just makes it so much more devastating. You feel the pain of the people in the story, and more importantly you also feel the love and the compassion of the people as well. What got to me the most in this film was the eldest son Lucas and his mother. The amount of love and care that they have for one another, and the strength they give one another throughout the film is heart stoppingly beautiful. You can almost feel the amount of love that is shown in this movie. By far my new favourite.
Recently just finished watching this in geography class, I must say most touching movie ever! I was the only one in the room sobbing nearly every scene, but well worth the embarrassment! The fact it was based on a true story really touched me, outstanding movie! 100% recommend, the boy who played Lucus deffo deserves a Oscar! Brilliant acting from all!
I watched it in Geography Class a few days ago too, I was full on sobbing and everyone else around me hadn't shred a tear. I cried about it when I came home too, I found this movie really touching.
I've watched the film 5 times and I just watched the trailer again, and I started crying because I remember how I felt whilst watching it, and how amazing and touching the film is
We watched The Impossible at school because we were doing a topic on natural disasters, and I cried ALL the way through it! Its such a great and heartbreaking story and movie. 10/10
***** sorry but first I'm not a muggle second I won't be with you cause you killed my faves third you can't kill me with a phone and fourth it supposed that you are dead
Watch it. it's an emotional rollercoaster and harrowing but ultimately worth it. saw it in the theater and was the first time I cried at the. movies. 2nd was A Monster Calls
This movie was already heartbreaking, but since I remembered so vividly when the tsunami actually happened, watching the news in horror, not being that far from Thailand myself, it just reminded me that this is based on a real story and that made it all the more touching.
This movie is definitely a must see, it handles not only the entire tragedy of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami very well, but the actors did an astounding job. The movie was riveting in the emotion and tragedy brought by the event, even though the movie mostly shows the family and their mission to find each other again. It is one of the best retelling of a tragic real life event in a movie I have ever seen. Go watch it, this movie needs more appreciation.
I literally just watched this. I don't cry for movies but, I cried for this a bunch of times. This is movie gave me chill bumps. Feel so horrible for everything living thing that died and went through it.
I just watched this movie again right now for the second time. It reminded me to never give up. Like Maria said “No matter how hard things get, you will survive.”
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THIS MOVIE, DON'T WATCH THIS TRAILER. This trailer could have been so much shorter and not spoil the whole movie. Instead of a trailer, this should be called a summary of the film. This is such a powerful film!
I was a teenager in 2004 when that happened, I still remember the breaking news, the devastation, the shock, the donations, the footage, the mourning, not only in southeast Asia, in the entire world. Every country on earth was impacted more or less, almost every country on earth lost at least one citizen that was there for the holidays, the entire world lowered their flags and announced day of mourning. I couldn't sleep well for days, I had this strange feeling of guilt for being safe in my home in Europe. It may sound surreal for those who weren't born in 2004, but this event changed everything.
Majority of this movie was me in emotional torment and sobbing. So much fear and sobbing, I was drained and so tired but relieved at the end I bawled so hard my head was aching it really touched me
I just watched this movie and I cried dam near thru the whole movie I swear this a sad movie , even more so because it is a true true , I can’t imagine going thru something like this .
I went through this entire movie being so confused on why the little boy looked so familiar. My entire family just spent the movie trying to place him. Then at the very end, still trying to rack my brain at who this boy was, appears the name, in giant letters, “Tom Holland” I screamed
It's 2018. I just wanted to tell this Tom Holland that NOW he's one of the best people in the world, he's an icon. And that it has all the recognition it has always deserved and deserves. I love you, Tom. you always made me laugh and cry. ❤️
My husband and I survived the tsunami and this movie is exactly what happened. It is like being there again. I am also from Spain like Maria Belon and look like her a bit.
Movies dosn't make me cry but one part in this movie did... I wont spoil annything to the guys that havn't seen it ... but you who have... you know what scene I mean. Plus I like how they made the wave really look like the wave from all fotage that has been caught ... its so amazing made
It kills me that we can come together during these types of tragic events but then things go back to the way they were & were either ignoring each other pain or being the cause of it.
wow .. I lived at the same place where they filmed it.. I wasn't there when they water hit but my dad and my aunt were there and my aunt died.. so sad. i cried my eyes out from this movie.
