So I decided to go see a random non-franchise movie and this looked interesting. I was the only one in the theater which is sad but great for me bc I legit OPENLY SOBBED at how moving it was. It's a simple premise that personalizes a family conquering insurmountable odds. Script and acting had some great dialogue between action to make you truly connect with each character- nonfat to be trimmed imho.
I truly feel like the dynamics of the family- mom (8 months pregnant), dad, their teenager, and dad's father are relatable whether you have been in that exact position of relationships or not. The dad (Peter Facinelli) just embodied this character- the fear a father faces trying to protect his family while also trying to stay strong and hopeful for them. And the mother just embodies what women can and will do to keep their children safe. The teenage son shows vulnerability while also stepping up to the plate despite his fear.
I also love how they acknowledged the impact these disasters have on first responders. Can't get over how good this was. Highly recommend! Please go see it!
