The Finest Hours 2016

This is a Disney movie and it shows from start to finish. There is no real sense of drama or urgency, I never felt that any of the characters were ever in peril. Disney familiy friendly concept doesn´t work on a story that is supposed to be heart gripping drama. Yes, the movie looks really good I´ll give it that. But they should label it "no common sense was used in the making of this movie"

They are on the ocean in a drifting stern with winds up to 60 mp/h, the waves are several meters high, yet they are standing firmly planted on a deck that is just slightly moving and outside it seems that only a slight breeze is going on that doesn´t even disturb their hair. No one really seems to get injured everyone is only having mild bruises, if any, I believe there was one broken arm, that´s all. And a girl sitting in her crashed car for hours in what is supposed to be a snow storm with only her dress on and she isn´t effected at all by the cold. There are several more examples of that kind but I guess you get my point.

I know a movie is make-believe, but please give the audience some credit.
Disney has made, and I´m sure will continue to do, great movies that fit them very nicely. But this isn´t one of them.
