I went in knowing little about the film and was glad because it turned out to be quite a fun, surprising action movie. Too, I'd never put these actors together in a film, and yet they were amazing together...so a solid 4 stars!

Very suspenseful and fairly realistic; went home and googled the actual facts about the true story depicted in the movie since I thought more people wouldn't have survived such an ordeal. Made me think twice about going on a small or large boat in the winter!

I thought the Finest Hours was a good movie and the 3D element made for stunning visuals, that made you feel like you were right inside the film. It had the elements of suspense and thrill which was contrasted with some humour and a love story. I also thought it was super interesting that it was based on a true story of the most successful rescue in US coastguard history.

The fact that this is based on a true story made the peril all the more intense. The characters seemed quite believable.

The Finest Hours is a thrilling story, with great performances. It is a memorable recollection of the triumph of a group of simple coastguards taking on a mammoth, near impossible mission. Their humility contrasted with magnitude of their accomplishments is inspiring. The action is authentic and all in all, a sensational, intriguing tale, illustrating the embodiment of human resilience, love and a sense of duty.

I enjoyed the movie very much. Chris Pine was great in this movie and so was Casey Affleck. The movie was very well done and it was very good portrayal of the events that happened in 1952.

..."THIS IS A TRUE STORY." Without these words onscreen,and then seeing proof as the credits roll,it would be impossible to believe what happened. THE FINEST HOURS is THAT amazing a tale. Heartbreaking and chest-pounding. Cast is crucial in this movie and couldnt be topped; each of them commit, and all pull together to carry the weight and make us feel the odds and the sacrifice that's in front of those who go out there, and those left behind. Smart use of 3D and seamless effects work make us feel that we're there as well. 4 STARS.

great story but the outdoor scenes in the sea don't look real
