One minute, you're in paradise. The next, you're in hell. Maria, Henry and their three boys are relaxing at a Thailand resort in 2004 when a tsunami suddenly sweeps them away.
Badly injured in the strong current, Maria manages to snag her eldest son, but they're all alone in a devastated landscape.
This harrowing survival epic, a true story, hits home because it's about ordinary people.
As Maria, Naomi Watts is superb, receiving Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for the physically and emotionally demanding role.
Ewan McGregor is every bit as good as Henry, determined to find his missing family.
The real Maria appears in a bonus feature.
PG-13, 114 minutes. Extras: deleted scenes, director commentary, a making-of featurette and a casting featurette.
Grade: B+. Extras: B+. Available Tuesday, April 23.
