As mentioned in another comment, although the Chris Pine crew are supposedly sent to their death, there's no real tension as you know they're going to come back unscathed because it's a Disney movie featuring sailors that never swear. Some spectacular visuals of an angry open sea–the highlights of the movie as far as I'm concerned–but our heroes have nothing to fear aboard the sturdiest, most physics-defying lifeboat ever seen on live action film. Clearly the source material was not exciting enough and needed some embellishment... yet the movie still lacks spice. I would dunk on Casey Affleck's subpar acting but his lines didn't really deserve better.
