Very Cool!!!
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Amazing cool film with super graphics, I laughed, I cried and I cheered! Should have won oscars, I DEMAND A RECOUNT! Deffo see this! Has to be seen to be believed!
The movie is great as I can relate it to myself and my working environment. Since it is a dramatisation of a real accident, the director couldn't add extra things to viewer's taste. Many factual errors are there. It would have been better if they would have done some more research by some experienced personnel working in Offshore Oil rigs for the technical knowledge to make the script.
spoilersstarting with a good dramatic building with a happy husband who loves his wife travelling to the rig for 3 weeks which leads to technical talks and artificial argument which ends in an explosion with trials to turn the actor into a real hero >>ends :)i rated 4 just because i like the offshore life
It's the second movie I see in a row where Mark Wahlberg is presented as the heroic average guy. Do all Americans see themselves as former underwear models? The movie was OK. First show how good and professional and real people are the heroes of the story, demonize the middle management who wants to get things done hoping it will all be OK and risking everybody's lives, express the idea that money hungry sons of bitches are to blame, then blow everything up.The film presents only the actual event, with lots of fire, explosions, blow outs and debris flying everywhere. The lower on the corporate ladder people are the more heroic they appear. That's dramatization for you. I would have loved to have a small part in the end dedicated to the BP cover up and the legal mess afterwards, but they kept quiet. I don't even know if it was all cleared up by 2010. However, you should look up Peter Berg's article about BP's interference with the movie. Just look for "The 'well from hell' – my fight with BP to film Deepwater Horizon" and you'll find it.Bottom line: classic disaster movie, with a straight story of the event, rather than the entire political and legislative chaos that ensued.
