Customer Ratings & Reviews

Can’t remember if this is based on a true story or not but it definitely lets you feel the pain and anxiety that these people go through to survive and find each other. Worth watching.

I enjoy movies that are based on real life events. The main actors did an excellent job portraying the parents in this movie.

This was a very intense movie. I wouldn't recommend it for children under12. The story, perhaps partly because it was based on true events, was compelling. The adult and child actors were excellent. They were very believable. The special effects gave you a sense of what it was like to be caught up in the tsunami. I would highly recommend this movie.

I really loved this movie!! I thought Naomi Watts did a great job of acting, showing the pain and suffering she went thru to survive a typhoon and keep her child alive, to hopefully be reunited with her family. Special effects were excellent. as was the story. The movie deserved the Oscar nominations it got!! Highly recommedn this movie!!

Absolutely spellbinding tale of survival and family love! Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts were fantastic, but the standout star of this film is a young Tom Holland who showcased a range far beyond his years.

It's a True story about Love, hope and faith in the midst of a horrible Tsunami in Thailand. The acting was so believable it draws you in making you want a happy ending that seems to never come. I cannot imagine the real emotional and physical torture this family went though....this is a must see!

kids and I love to watch tragedy that is based on real life. There is one scene that makes it very real as to what the family was going through at the beginning. More throughout the movie, but not as shocking. It brought up conversations as a family what we should plan when on vacation.

IT took me a while to watch this movie after purchasing it. I heard it was sad and didn't want to make myself sad. I watched it on a rainy day. It was a great day for lounging on the couch and watching a movie. It was a very good movie and I enjoyed it very much.

This movie is so good. Such a great movie based on a true story. Love all of the performances in it. Especially Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, and Tom Holland. Even if you haven’t seen it you should buy it!

This is movie with heart and real emotion. You'll find yourself captivated with the performances and its almost a shame nominations and not awards themselves were given to this film because everyone puts on a top notch showing. Slow?, maybe, but the film holds your attention by way of its riveting story of triumph through devastation.

The Impossible is a harrowing film about the struggle for survival one family goes through in the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami in Thailand

Enjoyed this movie very much. Even though the story was focused on one family, it was very exciting. Received movie within a week. Too bad this movie was not available in store pick-up, so I had to spend $2.99 on shipping. Wish there's no minimum purchase to have free shipping.

this film is emotionally gripping. a great movie about a true story of a family who went through a horrific situation.

Emotional tearjerker of a film! First watch with this one and it definitely wasn’t a letdown!

This movie was well done. I am not sure how close to the real event it was.

This is a fantastic story, purportedly based on true events. Very well done.

This was such a great movie, this family went through so much and all made it out together! Great, great movie1
