REVIEWED 
I did not expect the film to get a 1 thumbs up baldy.. but it did.

This is one movie that I wished I had seen it at the movies. Why ? Because of the boat vs waves scenes. It looks good on the TV screen and what if I saw this, with the sound effects, at the cinema. It must be really something. I remember watching Perfect Storm with the same element of Boat against the waves. But that was a fishing boat which eventually sunk and it was not even so many or big waves. But watch this film and see how a Lefe Guard boat battles the impossible against the odds against the waves. Many times you thought the boat had it but it kept on going and going. As this was based on a true story, the events really happened. So you never can argue its just a movie.

It has Chris Pine who played an opposite version of James T Kirk in terms of character. CP is so timid and follow the book kindda of lifeguard that you thought he would not make it. But his spirit and boldness is somewhat like JTK he played in Star Trek.

The event occurred in 1952 where an oil vessel was cut in half and just waiting for the time when this half sink. Its distress signal was picked up by a nearby LifeGuard base headed by the reluctant leader Eric Bana.Although he gave the order for CP to go out for rescue he could have said no or make an excuse that he tried but the sea was too rough. But he did not do any of those and with 3 men set to sea for the rescue.

The 30 over men on board the halved vessel was headed by reluctant Casey Affleck. He lead the guys not because of his leadership but as he was the only one who had knowledge.

Luck play a lot in the rescue mission as the boat's compass was defective along the way. How they found the halved vessel and how they got back to their port.

For the record, this rescue of 32 lives in a small boat still remain the record in the US naval history.

See this movie to witness the power of the human spirit.
