Rating: 7/10 (31 July 2016)

The Finest Hours (2016): Personally I feel that movies which involves any natural disasters are truly chilling ones because it always makes us to imagine ourselves in their positions.The Finest Hours in one such movie which is based on true events which involves a daring heroic act.
Plot: In 1950, in Cape Cod in Massachusetts, the US Coast Guard station in Chatham receives a distress signal from the oil tankers SS Pendleton and SS Fort Mercer. Commander Daniel Cluff assigns the crew formed by Bernie Webber, Richard Livesey, Andy Fitzgerald and Ervin Maske to rescue the crew of the SS Pendleton in a small rescue boat. Cluff is warned about the intensity of the storm by Bernie and also by his girlfriend Miriam but he keeps the order. Meanwhile the SS Pendleton has broken and lost his forward part and his skilled and experienced engineer Ray Sybert assumes the command of the survivors. He uses his abilities to steer the stern in a safer position, grounding it on an unstable bank of sand to avoid sinking.
Plus Points:
1)Screenplay: Rescue operation movies mostly involves same type of screenplay but the way it builds up thrill plays the major role.The Finest Hours has engaging screenplay which is entertaining at its best.There is no dull moment in the movie and its mostly racy.
2)VFX: VFX plays a key role in these type of movies because showcasing a historical natural disasters is not an easy work.The Finest Hours crew has gave their best output and it really helped a lot.The gigantic waves and the rescue operation in the storm are showcased very well.
3)Performances: All the actors gave good performances.Chris Pine,Ben Foster,Kyle gave brilliant performances.
Minus Points:
1)Misses Logic in few scenes: Few scenes have missed logic which is not convincing.In movie they show that all four of our heroic crew crosses dangerous bar with gigantic waves without even getting strapped to anything on their boat.How can it even possible???
So The Finest Hours is good thrilling adventure movie with good VFX ,engaging screenplay and decent performances.
My rating 7.25/10
