Abandoned

this is truly are great movie. The story is told in a very "natural" fashion, concentrating on the inner feelings of the protagonists. still at no time there is something as length in this film. in opposite its the "little" motions, sudden turns and details that keep the tension up. Dominic Purcell is acting brilliantly and his fellow sailors are doing great as well. I would - just for cinematic reasons of course - hope for a second part. The actual incident was really dramatic, so I really do not want anything like this happen in the real world. I like movie setting in which more or less random people are bound together in a close room or so like "12 angry men". this picture could become one of the cult movies showing how different men cope with critical situations

This is not the kind of movie I would see twice, however, it was interesting enough for me to watch it to the end. It was uneven at times, but because it is based on a true life adventure and probably a book, I guess that was inevitable. It had alot of character study of the four crewmen and made me involved enough to ask myself what would I do with each of these characters if I was a crewmember on that capsized trimaran. So it was a worthwhile movie to watch.

It was a good movie but they were lost at sea in an overturned boat for 4 months and the chubby guy never lost weight and his crew cut hair stayed the same short length the whole time lol. It was so distracting because I kept wondering how he's giving himself buzz cuts and why on earth it was even a priority to give himself crew cuts during this 4 month life threatening situation. Other than that, it was a good movie.

It's not a bad movie, the only problem is that none of them looks like being lost in the sea for 119 days. I'll take that as a production error, for instance, movies like Cast Away, Life of Pi, ... actors would gradually "look" like they've been lost in the sea for that long (skinny, tanned, sun burned, dehydrated, messy long hairs, dirty, torn clothes, ... etc..). But in the movie "Abandoned", actors look about the same from the beginning to the end (check Dominic Purcell's hair ...). Also, most of these types of movies, it will either emphasize the scientific/technical parts, or the mental/spiritual aspects of human, but this movie just very lightly grazed through any of it, and it's a movie that leaves no impact, no thoughts after.

Substandard. Almost detracted from the story. Seems like the story was told from one persons point of view.
