Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

ridiculous rating

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is based on a true story of three US servicemen who land their plane in the sea, get out into a raft and manage to survive without eating each other, although it was discussed with Tom Felton looking like lunch. They play the blame game for a little bit, do some interesting stuff to survive, and lay around like Robert Redford. Action wise, it wasn't that great. Character wise it was so-so. But with the Hollywood focus on real American war heroes, people are heaping praise because it may be expected of them. I hated "All is Lost." I found it boring. This was a little better because there was some dialogue, but face it, it is another story about guys lost at sea floating in a raft. True or not, I simply don't find it entertaining even if it was JFK. Great film, if you're into this kind of stuff.Was that an anachronistic nylon zipper on their survival kit pack?

A castaway film based on the true event of the US navy airmen who crash landed their plane and lost in the sea during the WWII. The story is set when the US response to the Pearl Harbor attack was underway. But three men are unfortunate to end at a vast pacific ocean. The film tells their survival story without food, water and medical attention until they plan to sail to the nearest island.There are many awesome films were in the recent times with this theme, so it looks like people are already tired of it. But I enjoyed it, I never get bored of listening to the true adventure stories like this. You know it is a low budget film with a minimal cast, but production quality was excellent. The amazing effort by all the three, especially towards the final act with their diet to match with the real event.Draco Malfoy, the bad boy from the 'Harry Potter' film series was very interesting. I never noticed him as close as in this one, because he never did a big role until now. So I hope he makes some fine roles in his future projects.In the B movies, this is really a top notch product. There are only minor flaws, and the scenes repeated from other similar films, because these things are very common in the castaway situation. So you can't blame the film for being so cliché, but you can try to appreciate the attempt.By the way, it's got a small twist at the end. It was the editing magic, otherwise if the story was told in a straight line from the beginning to the end, there would have been nothing but a usual tale. Now, do you think I would recommend it to you, definitely I do.7/10

No spoilers. Just general information about the film. This is not the greatest film ever made but compared to a movie that I saw with Robert Redford some time ago -also a survival story at sea it kept my interest. I rented it from Itunes the first ever film I have rented in this way. It also recalled the survival scenes of Mutiny on the Bounty as well (1935). I gave the Redford film two stars and Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) four stars. It also recalled THE OLD MAN IN THE SEA in that it had a few brief flashbacks and dream sequences. OLD MAN IN THE SEA is a near classic 3 1/2 stars. It also seemed to recall the OPEN BOAT a story by Stephen Crane. This is a solid workman like film. I give it high marks for historical accuracy. I could not notice any anachronisms in the gear or script. It was, in a very real sense, a tribute to the stoic courage of the "greatest generation." I found the film very well acted and I enjoyed the way they framed it with pictures of the era and the real-life characters. Definitely worth seeing. A good WWII survival film. I would give it 3 to 3 1/2 stars. Definitely above average. Music not overdone. And though it was predictable in some places there were some thrills. I can't understand people who gave this a zero. They could not have seen the film. Very good performances by the actors and solid directing. If you like WWII films you will like this one.

This movie i watched after Unbroken By (Ang Jolle) filmed in Australia The opening sequence almost mirrors the plight of pilots that have to ditch their planes, and is a fantastic story. BUT it is almost the same as the first half of Jolle's Film. At Least her film moves from Raft to rescue to Internment. Whereas this movie is solely concerned with the guys on the raft.Same stuff, plane ditched, everyone in rafts, Long time at sea, catching sharks etc. Only difference is these guys make it to an island after 1000 plus miles at sea.If I had to watch the two movies again, Give me Unbroken Any day. Even though Both are true stories.
