230,000 people native to the countries affected by one of the worst earthquake/tsunamis ever recorded and they chose to focus on some speccy british tourists...the writers of this movie have clearly never met a child either, the way the oldest sonwas written. The production and suspense building were great, but the whitewashing just kinda ruined it for me.

Really emotional and tough to watch. Watts and McGregor are excellent overall and phenomenal in a few scenes specifically. The special effects and cinematography are top notch, it all looks convincing and realistic. The one fault is having a white family (the real life family was Spanish) and making this a European-centric story with Thailand and its people as the scenery. Still recommendable, but definitely watch a documentary about the tsunami after this for added perspective.

Pros: extremely captivating from beginning to end; extraordinary filmmaking in general; cinematography and visual effects are stunning; Watts gives a great performance. Cons: the score is overbearing and adds excessive melodrama; the dialog is a bit amateurish and unoriginal. While this film has a lot working in its favor, there does seem to be an element of realism that is missing. The film adds too many far-fetched, absurd, unnecessary coincidences that distance a great story from the viewer.

Against all odds eh.. The film was good in delivering the emotions, without going too much in your face. But still not an amazing film.
