Amazing simply because it's actually as it happened. Naomi Watts is as believable as ever, and Tom Holland of Billy Elliot fame was fantastic. It's a shame Ewan McGregor was cast in such a sensitive role as in my view he couldn't act to save his life. Tom, Samuel Joslin and Oaklee Pendergast are far more believable in their roles than the wooden Mr Mcgregor. I think it would have been fitting to dedicate the movie to all those who lost their lives in this disaster.

The lead adult actors really let themelves down in this movie. The kids and minor characters did a good job, but the tedious, unconvincing melodrama from McGregor and Naomi.Watts especially was just embarrassing. Really poor acting. Watchable but really nothing more.
