The closest in spirit to the original Star Trek that taught us to Find Hope in the Impossible. Chris Pine, his cast, and starship are now yesterday's Enterprise. 🖖

"The Impossible" is a film I'd put on a list of 10 films everyone must see. The 20th anniversary of the boxing day tsunami was last week. Give it a watch.
