119 giorni alla deriva

This is not the kind of movie I would see twice, however, it was interesting enough for me to watch it to the end. It was uneven at times, but because it is based on a true life adventure and probably a book, I guess that was inevitable. It had alot of character study of the four crewmen and made me involved enough to ask myself what would I do with each of these characters if I was a crewmember on that capsized trimaran. So it was a worthwhile movie to watch.

This film is based on a true story, which makes it very interesting. It's a survival tale set on top of a giant collection of water we call the ocean.

The production is convincing and maintains immersion. I thought the casting was perfect, and the actors do an excellent job conveying their characters.

I scored the film high because I felt it presented different aspects of the human spirit which is observed through the characters response and interaction to the situation, themselves and each other.

There is no waste or filler in the film, everything is well paced and contributes to the story which is well written.

I love stumbling on rare gems like this.

Made for TV movie (true story) about a capsized trimaran yacht and how it's crew survived for over 100 days. Well done and reasonably accurate about the sailing offshore in a performance multi-hull. Unlike most disaster / redemption films this one obviously was done by people who knew their topic.

I enjoyed this film as unlike most it made me feel they did not dumb down the content assuming everyone watching could not truly understand the situation. As a sailor I found this film quite realistic.

I feel the actors did a good job of representing the people in the crisis and they avoided overacting with restraint.

I'd heard about this situation and the controversy, so seeing the film added a lot of context to news from the other side of the world.

Substandard. Almost detracted from the story. Seems like the story was told from one persons point of view.

It's amazing they were able to turn what, on paper, is a truly epic and harrowing tale into something so bland, one-dimensional, and utterly anticlimactic. Usually movies are able to dramatize and add a level of excitement beyond the real life events that inspired them. This movie somehow managed to do the opposite. I honestly didn't think that was possible.
