    If you thought hurricane Sandy was bad, wait until you see what a tsunami can do.

    by

    Based on a true story of a family separated from each other when the Tsunami hit their beach resort in Thailand and how they miraculously got back together. Bring a box ot tissues..

    Heart-wrenching movie - triumph of the human spirit!

    by

    Terrific movie - the subject was handled in a respectful and humane manner in dedication to the thousands of lives lost during the Indonesian tsunami.

    It was great to see so many survivors pulling together to help others, and the ending was touching. Good movie, but be ready to cry a lot

    Great movie, but not PG-13

    by jh354

    This movie was very heart- wrenching and the acting was fabulous. I brought my 13 and 14 year old children and it was not appropriate for them. There are 3 unnecessary boob shots of Naomi Watts (one where her breast is completely bare) that I was not prepared for. There are some shots of open wounds that they turned their heads away from as it was so graphic. I can understand that the director wanted to realistically illustrate this tragic disaster, but it should have been given an R rating.

    by petersen101

    went with 4 teenagers thought the movie was intense and at times more gory then expected but all around loved it and over 2 hours flew by, bring your tissues even if you are a guy.

    The best movie you'll see in 2013

    by

    Gut-wrenching and utterly moving, this film is a beautiful account of a real families strength and struggle during the 2004 Tsunami in Thailand. It's amazing to see how this family endured such a massive tragedy, and eventually overcame and became reunited.

    A Bit Predictable

    by Great Oz

    I'm a Naomi Watts fan, so I was hoping for a better film. The story is bit predictable, so there's not a lot of tension. The acting is first rate and the special effects are very well done, but the film was tedious in parts. Go if you are into disaster films.
