Review of The Finest Hours (2016) by Carfan1999 — 11 Aug 2016
Based on the trailers, it looked liked this would be something different from Disney; an intense rescue drama. However, The Finest Hours turns out to be exactly what you would expect from the Mouse House.
This film benefits from very good acting, top- notch special effects, a few heart pounding moments, and it's so authentic to the time period that this felt like it made in 1952. But the problem with the film is that it doesn't focus enough on the sea rescue.
The romance takes up to much of the run time and does not add anything to the overall story. In addition; being a Disney movie; useless moral lessons are thrown in that also add nothing to the overall plot.
In the end, this is a typical feel good Disney film with fine acting and special effects; but also some useless elements that add nothing more then melodrama and a lack of intensity.
