StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

creatureofthereel The story that this docufilm is based on is an interesting one and divided many as to whether it was actually a true story or a fabricated one, whichever you decide upon yourself doesn't effect this title at all. My 2 biggest issues are as follows 1-The voiceover during the film is hard to grasp as it sounds like the person wants to be Werner Herzog but can't do the accent, 2-For the men to have had little food and water for 119 days, they looked remarkably healthy. Other than that the film presents itself nicely, its worth a watch if you like a true story.

kitellis-98121 It's hard to quantify this odd little film.Based on a true story, it is somewhat interesting yet ultimately unsatisfying; moderately thrilling, yet strangely dull; occasionally uplifting yet mostly depressing.The most consistent thing about it is how inconsistent it is.For the majority of the scenes at sea I despised each of the men and hoped that they would die horribly, yet when they reached land and were welcomed with such contempt and hostility by the media and the public I found myself rooting for them and hoping for their vindication.In essence I think I would have to describe this film as a maddeningly uneven depiction of a maddeningly unlikely true story about a maddeningly unlikable quartet of men. How close to the truth it really is will never be known, and that is perhaps the most maddening thing of all.Frustrating in many respects, yet worth a watch if you're in the right mood.

macarthurt this is truly are great movie. The story is told in a very "natural" fashion, concentrating on the inner feelings of the protagonists. still at no time there is something as length in this film. in opposite its the "little" motions, sudden turns and details that keep the tension up. Dominic Purcell is acting brilliantly and his fellow sailors are doing great as well. I would - just for cinematic reasons of course - hope for a second part. The actual incident was really dramatic, so I really do not want anything like this happen in the real world. I like movie setting in which more or less random people are bound together in a close room or so like "12 angry men". this picture could become one of the cult movies showing how different men cope with critical situations

marciama It's not a bad movie, the only problem is that none of them looks like being lost in the sea for 119 days. I'll take that as a production error, for instance, movies like Cast Away, Life of Pi, ... actors would gradually "look" like they've been lost in the sea for that long (skinny, tanned, sun burned, dehydrated, messy long hairs, dirty, torn clothes, ... etc..). But in the movie "Abandoned", actors look about the same from the beginning to the end (check Dominic Purcell's hair ...). Also, most of these types of movies, it will either emphasize the scientific/technical parts, or the mental/spiritual aspects of human, but this movie just very lightly grazed through any of it, and it's a movie that leaves no impact, no thoughts after.
