It did suffer for it's "too soon" concern, but it was such a good movie that didn't really factor in.
While this was a hugely significant event in south eastern Asia, I don't think that incorporating a character who experienced the event into a movie that isn't actually about the event is treating the subject with any disrespect. In fact it is almost an attitude of acceptance; a naturalness becoming in our collective conciousness. #clinteastwood

"aw hell naow!"
in expectation of the subsequent development that, once you start down the slippery-slope of making it more action-y and sci-fi-ish, you inevitably end up with Will Smith in the title role.
By rights the part belongs to Tom Sizemore. "Saving Private Ryan" was a goddamned 2 hour audition tape for Sgt Rock. #sgtrock

Otherwise this just sounds like the comic book movie disaster equivalent of Speed Racer.

The description doesn't really sound at all like it's actually about the tsunami, only that it's part of one of the character's backstories.
As for your wondering whether there will be a sentiment of "too soon..."
No, probably not. At least to most of the folks that would end up seeing this movie wouldn't have been impacted by it.
If you want a movie that directly dramatized the aftermath of the tsunami, then you can check out the t.v. mini series "Tsunami: The Aftermath"

It was made only 2 years after the event by the BBC and HBO.
It actually features a pretty solid ensemble cast and wound up winning some BAFTAS, Emmys, and Golden Globes... #clinteastwood
