Saw this movie on Tuesday. Read the reviews before i left, really an awesome movie that kept me in suspense from the first 5 minutes. This was so real without 3-D, the A-list actors were very polished and proficient. My deepest respect goes out to all who work on ships and even more to the very brave people who rescue those in life or death situations. Thank you Richmond Hill Silvercity...best theater ever...Suzanne.
It is a very powerful movie. Great insight to living on a coast, and the peril of living, and earning a living off the sea.
The best part of the film for me was when the 4 man rescue crew were first heading out toward the break which they needed to get over in order to make it out to the open sea. I know that roar of the break having experienced it myself ( though not to the same degree ! ). Effects were terrific - the only downside for me were the somewhat stilted portrayals of the main characters. I just never felt they really gelled well. The musical score was also a little too predictable for me. But I'm probably being a little too critical here - it IS a good movie and definitely worth seeing on the big screen.
Certainly not the finest hours I've ever spent in a movie theater, that's for sure. :(
Really good story and must see
Way ahead of anything nominated for an Oscar this year. Great story, well acted!
Great movie!
Terrific portrayal of terrifying events during this heroic rescue. I was disappointed at times with the 3D effects though.
Great story and visuals! I would recommend watching this movie.
I love true stories and this is a very good movie and everyone should see it.
