Review of The Impossible (2012) by John M — 09 Jan 2015

Reasonably made, but fairly straight-forward docudrama. The movie hits all the beats you would expect, and none you wouldn't. There have been a lot of these kinds of movies recently, like the Stephen Hawking movie.

Movies that are not very imaginative in what they do. The film score, in particular, is pretty sing-song, just a droning continuum that underlies the film throughout. So, it is watchable, and it is impressive what the real-life people behind this dramatization went through.

But, that and the performances are what make the film most worthwhile.
