Great movie!
I have spent much of my life as a professional mariner. This movie left me with chills - it was great! I thought the effects were quite realistic (more so than say The Perfect Storm).
Excellent action packed movie!
Great movie about true hero's.
Very good excellent cast a hell of a story makes you think about the ocean
Really entertaining.
The action scenes were good but a lot of time was spent watching boats being thrown about on the sea.The story line was a bit thin.
Respect to those who work at sea. Apart from the actual rescue mission, there were too many minutes of the film taken up with mundane dialogues that were well acted.
YOU KNOW A MOVIE MAKES A STATEMENT WHEN PEOPLE REMAIN SEATED WHEN IT IS OVER. CHRIS PINE IS HONING HIS ACTING SKILLS.
Excellent special effects and photography. Captures the time period. The angry sea is terrifyingly real. That was one tough little rescue boat. Acting is good. Hardly a dull moment.
