SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

An absolute waste of money

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I was so looking forward to watching this movie. I'd heard the comments about all the nominations for awards and so it has been on my most wanted list.Chris Pine is one of my favourite (English/Australian spelling) actors, as is Casey Affleck, and that big Scot, Graham McTavish, what a real let down from Game of Thrones and Outlander for him.It was such a shame to see so many great performers being undervalued by lousy direction. Every element for a terrific suspense filled drama was there waiting for the right direction and timing. Instead we got left with all the high drama being dawdled up to and then let slide down the other side with a whimper. Even the music score was no help. Chris Pine looked like he just wanted to sleep and I can understand that it probably was his frustration with the director. He had next-to-nothing to do. Into The Storm this wasn't, but it could have been and maybe even better. Too bad, so sad.

Over all it was worth watching as an evening entertainment. The true story is very compelling on its own, with little added drama. I did not find the side story of Bernie and Miriam's "love" story to add to the theme, and in fact it was annoying. I understand they were already in fact married when this even occurred, and the writers should have gone with that. They frankly made Miriam out to be childish, not gutsy, having her run her car into the snow bank... what for? I am sure that didn't happen. They were trying to make her into some sort of proactive feminist and they bombed. Chris Pine did a good job, but he was too handsome for the part. They were playing up "sexy" and that was not a good choice. Chris Pine did a pretty good job of being a simple honest guy, but in the body of a sex symbol??? why? The actors of the ships crew were really compelling.. I think the writers tried to do a Titanic re-make instead of telling the real story which is interesting enough. I did find the movie to have good moments, but it wasn't brilliant. That was the writers fault, they could have been more true to the event and it would have been more interesting.

I was surprised Walt Disney still produced a quality movie. Our whole family enjoyed it. We especially liked the fact that it was based on a true story. Folks kept their clothes and and every other word wasn't F this and F that. Self reliance and individuality was stressed instead of this over sensitivity and relying on group think. What some may not like is the respect shown towards rules and knowing when to over rule the rules. Gender roles are clear and defined i.e. women are women and men are men. Gasp,they even allowed praying in those days! It's the America we need to get back to in stead of this third world anything goes mentality. If you were not aware of the plot, you really couldn't predict the ending. There was suspense and the special effects were pretty good. It was very enjoyable. Thank you Disney! Produce more like this and we'll come back to being Disney fans.

If you read the history of this story and couple that with the quality of acting as well as the time and money that has gone into making this movie, it seems disrespectful that over 40,000 voters would give this picture less than 7 out of 10 stars rating. Excellent story and movie and acting. 10 stars as a means of correcting any previous disrespect.Both Casey Affleck and Chris Pine do a phenomenal job of acting. The harrowing scenes are breathtaking. A good piece of history to restore anyone's faith in humanity. Treat yourself to an important history lesson and good-old-fashioned entertainment.The greatest small boat rescue in history which happened in 1952....just over 64 years ago.
