I don't want to downplay the actual real people involved, or the gravity of the actual incident.....but this move is a bit "meh" in the end (sorry). It started off well and got me hooked, then took a bit of a nose dive after that. For some reason I thought it was going to be this incredible survival story, but after the 20 minute mark that impression was over.
I read some negative reviews about this movie and 16 minutes in, I thought they were incorrect, sadly they kinda weren't.
The best way to watch this movie is to get to the 20 minute point when they are rescued......then fast forward to the last 10-15 minutes - That way you miss out on 40 minutes of 'unlucky' missed opportunities, 'ships passing through the night' clichÃ©s....then get to the final happy ending.
And it started sooooo good. Again, sorry :(
