to the person justifying only white folks in a disaster where they're a minority. imagine a movie about 9/11: an American (colored family; say Chinese or whatever else is invisible in America) featured but none of the locals (whites?) have much of a speaking part at all. maybe a few extras here and there [same scenario] except you might object that Asian (Chinese?) Americans can only be found in 'chinatown' (or they aren't important; or no one wants to see 'them colored' Americans, etc. seriously one sided. Red Dawn/Olympus Has Fallen 'anti-slant'
To the person asking if there is only white folks. Ummmm we all no it was not just white folks. However the movie does surround the events of that one family's story so I think it's fair to say there is only so many other people they could tell a story about in a just under 2 hour movie. We all know there was a lot more people that lost lives and were effected by this event.
It could it be better since was based on a true story,good effects but terrible acting of the boy, they missed to show more survivors when in the water, it looked as if they had been the only ones which took away veracity :(
Loved this One,kept me hoping for a Happy Ending!
This was a wonderful, moving picture with amazing special effects. It should have been nominated for Best Picture!
Amazing film, I love Naomi Watts!! it was so sad and the acting was great !
An incredible survival story. Beautifully acted and directed. Definitely my favorite 2012 movie. Naomi Watts in my mind deserves the oscar for her performance. Gut & heart-wrenching to watch this tremendous loss of life. A must see!
Very emotional tense movie - awesome cast and acting was wonderful - hope this one is up for a nominee.
Fantastic movie! Very emotional!
One of the best emotional movies i've seen in a long time ... definatly reccommend this one ... great movie for an older couple to go to together ... way to good not to get great reviews

tragic... no doubt... BUT... um... where is this really? Thailand? where are all the Thai locals... the natives... are they all white folks, with a few odd colored folks? who else were killed? is this... florida/caribbean/california/hawaii... Mars??? imagine doing a story on 9/11... and local Americans are 'somewhere' just as background 'extras'... [strange way to tell a story]
if the trailer of a movie can give me shivers and keep me wanting to see more and the fact that this really happened makes us want to see it.
