This is the ideal film-major's-midterm, budget of ten bucks and a pizza experience. The camera work is excellent, though oddly focused on various actors' feet. The scenes are arranged beautifully, even in the middle of the ocean. The characters are well-defined and consistent, especially for how little time we get to spend with each. The acting is smooth and believable, though the various language transitions made it a bit difficult to keep up with. The story makes perfect sense in a modern film and just as much sense if this was set four hundred years ago. It's timeless, in other words. It made me want to learn how to sail a boat.
