Maria, Henry and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand, looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities the night before, a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward her.

Spanish people are white.

Matt was the only one talking sense. This movie was better than "Argo". I was crying like a Bitch throughout. Lemire is a hypocrite. She praised Argo. A movie where "White" Ben Affleck played a Latino. Yet this movie gets bashed because they changed the family from being Asian to white. At least they didn't put Fake Tan on them like in "Argo"

Most spanish people look like any other european or white american! I'm portuguese, and my skin color is not that diferent from the actors in this movie. This guys are very hard on most movies, and focus on insignificant details and loose the big picture. I cried in this movie like I never cried in any other.

fucking hell, nothing ever pleases these guys! that movie was great

[NeoSoldner]

Naomi Watts SHOULD have won best actress!

[NeoSoldner]

This movie was FAR better than Argo!!

[Steven Le]

LOL, the ethnicities of the characters in the film did not matter THAT much. This movie hit all of my emotions and it was great!

Not white? They're all 'whiter' than Irish Collin Farrell.

[TheMudkipArmy]

spaniards are white. I swear the country borders fucking france

I stopped watching WTF after their review of the 'Dark Knight rises" ( I still shudder at the memory)... Anyway, I came back to see their opinion of this movie and I'm still disappointed. Christy Lemire is literally one of the worst- you know what, I'm not even going to start...

[ebhin o meara]

I thought it was one of the most powerful and emotional film this year!

Europeans surviving the Asian tsunami... and a feel-good subplot within the context of mass destruction.

hmm. I think I'll pass
