Man vs Nature

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2016)

The movie has three main threads: 1. the coast guard's efforts to save the tanker 2.the chief engineer's efforts to save his ship 3.Miriam's efforts to see her lover
If the beginning is slow and too romantic for my taste, after the introduction the movie starts building the tension. The visual effects are mostly toward the design of the waves and the dynamics of the motion. Imagine if the oil tanker's bulk seems diminished against the vastness off the sea, how did the small rescue boat look! The cast was good, several of them even looked like the real characters. The main actors (all three of them) did a great job by transmitting their feelings, the pain, the despair, the courage and the love.
