Intense...but how could a tsunami that killed 250,000 people not be? Granted, it focused on the - true, non-fictional - story of a white european family in an Asian disaster, but the people doing much if the heavy lifting are locals. This story shows the fragility of modern society...and the pull-togetherness of most of humanity in the face of disaster. I think if an apocalypse happened, even in the gun-nut USA, people would mostly leave the guns in the water and help each other. People are better than what the "news" outlets and Hollywood portray when it comes to the real-life hard times. The only thing I would change about this film would be to show more of the local folks' stories. 8/10.
