Review of All Is Lost (2013) by Ducknation — 24 May 2014

I have owned All Is Lost for some time now I just never got around to watching it that's a shame because I knew the film was good but damn I didn't know it was going to be a contender for my favorite Robert Redford movie. The fact that Robert Redford says less then 10 words through out the whole film is amazing I think its not till like the 22 minute mark till we hear him finally say something. The plot is simple but masterful some would find this type of film boring but not me I have actually stayed out on a boat for two weeks when I was younger and I had a blast. The film opens up with Robert Redford waking up to little spurts of water coming into his boat he gets up to see that he had clipped the edge of a container full of shoes that had fallen off a cargo ship. Well he ends up fixing the hole in his ship and life goes on as before but soon a huge storm hits and while fixing things around inside his boat a big wave hits his boat causing him to hit his head on a steel post that knocks him out. He then wakes up to water up to his thighs so he gets out a life raft and starts to gather some food and other things and he gets inside is life raft that is being pulled behind the boat. From here we watch Robert Redford try to survive in the open water as he tries to make his way to the Sumatra Straits in hope that he ends up being saved.

Overall I give it a 8.5 This film is beautiful, mesmerizing, and breathtaking All Is Lost is a most watch for all.
