What's the point?

You can tell the story of the BP oil spill in several different perspective. It can be about the events that leads to the spill, or it can be about how the spill was stopped.
This movie is none of the above. Although it may seem like the movie explained the sequence that led to the spill, unfortunately it was explained in terms that most moviegoers won't understand. For example, do you know what a negative pressure test of the drill pipe is supposed to do? Or what a kill line is? Or the significant of "mud"? Nothing is explained. All I know is a lot of people are doing a lot of stuff and eventually something went wrong. I assume the movie maker didn't really want the audience to understand what was going on, or else they would have explained in more detail.
So what's left for the audience to understand then? A lot of explosion and people trying to escape. And there is really no ending. It's like watching a news footage of a fire.
I have seen a documentary about this disaster and it was way more interesting than this movie.
