A very good movie. Based on a true story , a book written in 2009 by Sherman and Tougias and interviews with surviving members of the incident. From the photographs at the end of the movie, some of the actors look quite a bit like the real people they portray. Acting all-around spotless. Good leads for the two primary roles of the coast guard man in charge (Chris Pine) and the tanker's man in charge (Casey Affleck). A well-filmed historical drama portraying the bravery of the US coast guard in what is arguably one of the most daring rescues ever made.

We saw this film in 3D and it was a wild ride. The Finest Hours is the gripping, true story of the valiant attempt to rescue the souls huddling inside the broken halves of two ships. Coast Guard cutters raced to the aid of those stranded and when it became apparent that the halves of the tankers were in danger of capsizing, the Coast Guard sent out two thirty-six-foot lifeboats as well. These wooden boats, manned by only four seamen, were dwarfed by the enormous seventy-foot seas. As the tiny rescue vessels set out from the coast of Cape Cod, the men aboard were all fully aware that they were embarking on what could easily become a suicide mission. A great film, for all audiences.

What a fabulous film ! Based on a true story, the spellbinding tale is overflowing with breathtaking scenes that sear themselves into the mind's eye, as boats capsize, bows and sterns crash into one another, and men hurl themselves into the raging sea in their terrifying battle for survival. The story is told by two masterful storytellers, Michael J. Tougias and Casey Sherman. Together they have seamlessly woven together their extensive research and firsthand interviews to create an unforgettable tale of heroism, triumph, and tragedy, one that truly tells of the US Coast Guard's finest hours. A definite ‘must-see’ film for all.

I really enjoyed the screening of The Finest Hours based on a true story. The film was amazing. The specials effects are very fascinating; especially in the middle of the ocean showing the waves jumped by this little boat or vise versa. Usually, I don’t really like movie in 3D but this one was absolutely astonishing for me. Congratulations to the actors! Thank you to Tribute for this advance 3D screening.

This movie captures the power of nature, the terror it can evoke in us, and the strength and selflessness it brings out in many. You can almost feel the waves pounding you, and the cold, salty spray relentlessly chilling you to the bone. An emotional ride to the end.

The Finest Hours was a very enjoyable movie that had everything a good movie should ... suspense, drama, action, and a little romance thrown in too. The only negative thing, if there was any, was some parts were slow and predictable, but can't really fault it too much since it was based on a true but heartwarming story. Worth the watch in 3D on the big screen!

I found that the images of the film was very dark in regards to the actual lighting of the sea scenes. I feel. Like they were attempting to try and create a titanic love story combo and it really doesn't work . If it wasn't for the special effects with the storming of the waves this could almost be like a tv movie of the week.

One of the best movies I've seen in a very long time! I spent a good portion of the movie on the edge of my seat and then had to take 5 minutes after the movie to collect myself! Amazing!!!!
