I read a few great books about "Survival at Sea" and I could not put them down (true stories) They were fascinating! I was expecting the same type of excitement from this movie but I did not get it. It did not keep my attention. I could not wait for this movie to be over. This movie will probably be more appealing to people who are sailing or to people who have had a bad experience on the water. Without wanting to be sexist, it will also probably be more appealing to men. You should still go see it in order to make your own opinion.
