Great Movie But Queasy Cam Alert

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2013)

Let me start off by saying that Captain Phillips is a great movie. My husband and I thought the acting was incredible and the story well written. We gave it 9 out of 10 stars. What needs to be posted online and at the movie theater is that this movie uses shaky camera techniques which can make you nauseated if you are prone to this. I got a severe headache and nauseated to the point of dry heaves due to the jerky camera technique. This is called shaky cam or queasy cam. About a third of people who see a shaky cam movie will feel nauseated. That said, I think this movie will be a heavy contender in the Oscar race. Tom Hanks will probably be nominated for Best Actor and Barkhad Abdi for Best Supporting Actor. I think the other main characters, Barkhad Abdirahman who played Bilal, Faysal Ahmed who played Najee, and Mahat M. Ali who played Elmi did a fantastic job especially since they were all new to acting. Max Martini not only played a great Seal Commander, he is very easy on the eyes. Overall, this movie was extremely good and I highly recommend. Just make sure that the shaky cam won't bother you.
