WOW!

This movie really knows how to yang on your heart strings. The tsunami sequence was so well done. Holland/Watts are so violently thrusted through the water, and you really feel each hit as they collide with the different objects underneath. It's done very well and was easily the most effective part of the movie for me.

Holland and Watts are so great in this. I've never seen Holland in anything non-marvel, so this was a great surprise to see. Mcgregor is solid of course but Holland and Watts really impressed me the most. Not surprised Watts was nominated.

Apparently there was some controversy with the casting for this movie. It's based on a real family, but they're Spanish not English. I do agree that the change is a little random and was probably done for marketability, but I still enjoyed the story, regardless of who they centered around it.

7/10!
