"How many movies are there that you can think of when you see a movie like this? I can't count them but it sure seemed like the movie makers were trying to give me a hint. I was reminded so often of other movies, it became a big distraction. One of the borrowed memorable lines came from a movie from 2003 - Day After Tomorrow. One line by itself, is not so bad but this movie borrows so much from so many movies it becomes a bad risk.
BUT...
See The Movie! Despite its downfalls there is enough to make it interesting and maybe make it appear clever. While borrowing so much from other movies it never goes overboard. In fact, you'll probably find yourself battening down the hatches and riding the storm out. Why? ...Costner and Kutcher played their characters very well. I have never been a fan of Kutcher's and I nearly gave up on him in The Guardian, but he surfaced in good fashion. Costner carries the movie swimmingly with the best of Costner's ability. I don't think Mrs. Robinson had anything to do with his success.
The supporting cast all around played their parts well. I had no problem with any of them in the end. But some of these characters were used too much.
From here on out I can only nit-pick so I will save you the wear and tear. Enjoy the movie, the parts that work, work well enough to keep your head above water. Just don't expect a smooth ride.
7 of 10 but almost a 6.",positive,negative,"The movie borrows so much from other movies, leading to a poor risk and a lack of originality. It becomes a distraction, with characters used too much and the plot not well developed. The film ends up being a negative experience despite its points of interest."
"I only went to see this movie because I have always liked Kevin Costner. I felt that Ashton did a great job in the Butterfly Effect. Unfortunately, even though these two actors were/are capable of good if not great acting moments some of that was missing here. Some of the scenes were just not believable and didn't have enough story line support.
Though the movie claims influence from the hurricane Katrina aftermath, there was very little (none) to that effect in the movie.
Overall, I liked the fact that the movie brought forward some of what goes into saving lives from a water perspective.
The special effects were pretty good and more than a little intimidating. Not sure I'll ever go deep sea fishing again...
I expected a little more emotion in the film than what was presented.
Definitely a movie that could've been seen on DVD.",positive,negative,"The movie missed some acting moments, scenes were not believable, and there was little to that effect in the movie. The special effects were good but didn't fully capture the emotional impact expected from a hurricane Katrina reference."
"I'm a Petty Officer 1st Class (E-6) and have been in the USCG for 6 years and feel that this movie strongly represents the Coast Guard. There were only a few scenes that were far fetched. The most far-fetched was when PO Fischer (Kutcher) went down inside of the sinking vessel to pull the vessel's captain out of the engine room... that would never happen. Swimmers are not allowed to go inside of any vessel no matter the circumstances. Second, the Command Center (supposedly in Kodiak), it looked more like a NASA command center... we don't have any gear that hi-tech. Third, the Captain of the Airstation would not be running the search & rescue cases with like 10 people on watch. In reality it would be an E-6 or E-7 as the SAR Controller and maybe 2 other support personnel like an assist SAR Controller & a Radio Watchstander. Otherwise the movie was dead on, I think they should have incorporated more of the other rates in the CG and their roles in search & rescue instead of just Aviation based rates. Some of the scenes from ""A"" school reminded me of my days their and the dumb stuff I did and got in trouble for in my younger days.",positive,negative,"The movie portrayed the Coast Guard in a way that was unrealistic, with scenes that failed to meet expectations, and lacked practicality for real Coast Guard operations. The characters and situations were not aligned with realistic military scenarios."
"Wow, another Kevin Costner hero movie. Postman, Tin Cup, Waterworld, Bodyguard, Wyatt Earp, Robin Hood, even that baseball movie. Seems like he makes movies specifically to be the center of attention. The characters are almost always the same ... the heroics, the flaws, the greatness, the fall, the redemption. Yup, within the 1st 5 minutes of the movie, we're all supposed to be in awe of his character, and it builds up more and more from there.
And this time the story ... story? ... is just a collage of different movies. You don't need a spoiler; you've seen this movie several times, though it had different titles. You'll know what will happen way before it happens. This is like mixing An Officer and a Gentleman with Backdraft, but both are easily better movies. Watch Backdraft to see how this kind of movie should be made ... and also to see how an good but slightly underrated actor, Russell, plays the hero.",negative,positive,"The review highlights Kevin Costner's consistent performance across multiple movies, emphasizing his character depth and the storytelling quality. The reviewer appreciates how the narrative builds up to a compelling conclusion and mentions that the movie is a mix of different genres with strong performances."
