”The Impossible"

81wr-DB9c4-BL-AC-UF894-1000-QL80

Watching this again not long ago, I was instantly reminded that Tom Holland has always been a phenomenal actor. I love seeing him as Spider-Man and I even liked the Uncharted movie for what it was...but sometimes I’ll see him in something, even when he was still a young boy, and the blockbuster movie stuff almost seems like it’s just a walk in the park for him. And here, he was fresh off of the stage from playing “Billy Elliott”, so I was immediately impressed. And in love! Hehehe, but that hasn’t changed any! :P

Based on a true story, this is one of the most heart wrenching disaster movies out there. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to personally go through something like that myself, but this movie has a very visceral appeal to it that puts you right in the middle of it. When a family on a vacation is having fun on their beach front hotel...an unexpected surge of water suddenly comes rushing towards them as a tsunami overtakes everything around them and splits the family apart in the chaos.

From there, the movie goes from a desperate need to survive the flood, to a period of dealing with the severe trauma of it all, to finally trying to search through the damage and the rubble in order to see if they can be reunited as a family again. If you’ve never seen this before, I would highly suggest that you check it out! It won’t disappoint!
