This film was Good !!!

Now I just finished watching the film so unlike so many people who are making statements about the film that have not seen it I'll tell you some truth.
The movie is very well written and acted for one. Peter Berg can direct his ass off.
This film is not an action adventure. It is a true story of survivors of this catastrophe. It's mostly a drama until things go horribly wrong on the rig. The tension builds up over time making the beginning and middle go perfectly with the ending.
At the point when it is time for things to go wrong then the SE just blow you away. It isn't the typical Whalberg is the hero and saves the day. Yes, he is the main character, but it's not a typical Transformers type role for him.
Deep water Horizon is done really well and worth the $11.75 for sure. It was way better than I thought it would be . 8/10 because I couldn't give it a 7.8 lol.

THERES NO ROOM IN MY CIRCUS TENT FOR YOU !!!!

I was very disappointed with it. I couldn't make out most of the dialogue, I didn't know what was happening most of the time, and there was no character development so I had no emotional attachment. But it seems I'm alone with my opinion. Most people are saying it was great! I give it 2/10.

No character development??? R u kidding me?

The first 40 minutes was what? A pep talk???

Watch the movie again if you have the time.

I saw it in IMAX and thought that was why I couldn't understand most of the dialog. I remember thinking that I'll have to see it at home with closed captioning when it comes out on DVD.
I'd give it a solid 8, and an R rating for violence which was very intense.

I agree with you. I thought the acting, character development and overall story exceeded my expectations. between Sully Magnificent Seven and Deepwater, I thought this was the best.

I also liked it very much
the images, the scenery, the work on the rig depiction, the emotions, the acting

I enjoyed it very much too. Very intense and the acting from nearly every one was fantastic.

Trying to create a funny, engaging YouTube channel. If you guys check it out, hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance.
