Dang guys. This movie was crazy.
So the BP oil spill in 2010 is the main plot of this film. How it started, how it ended, etc...
What I loved about this film is how it just shows all the horrific events that these men and women went through during the BP oil spill from explosions to lifeboats. It was pretty in-depth filmmaking. It even showed what occurred under water, CGI of course, but still it looked awesome.
Another thing I loved is that it was multiple stories. True, Wahlberg took the lead and he's on the poster for IMDB, but he wasn't the main star. The star was the oil rig.
Also I liked how Gina Rodriguez's character, Andrea, wasn't the eye candy and the sex object for the guys on the rig. She was a part of the team and yet everyone looked out for her.
What I didn't like was the lingo. I don't know oil rig/science lingo. I'm not a scientist nor oil rig worker. So that made it a little hard to understand. What helped was the visuals that went along with the lingo so the audience could make the relationship between the two to understand what was going to happen next.
