The Finest Hours

I love this movie! Very intense with many "edge of your seat" moments. What makes it even more interesting is that it is based on a true story.

I'd recommend going to watch this show. Unbelievable. Quite the story.

Beautifully filmed and acted. We felt we were actually there fighting the crashing waves. What a ride! Thanks for the passes - this is a great movie to see in the cold of winter!

Beautiful shot period piece that tried very hard to be authentic 1952. Exciting and tense action. Modest hero. Somewhat cheesy love story with the beautiful and spunky heroine. I did not know the events of the story so enjoyed not really knowing how the incredible set events would end. Very entertaining.

Going in I expected it to be more focused on the shipwrecked crew but I was pleasantly surprised. The action was well spread between three main groups of people: the shipwrecked crew, the rescue crew and the people waiting on land. Casey Affleck's performance was so believable as the silent, reserved tanker engineer who has to step up to save his crew. Chris Pine's character was also a silent, slightly aloft guy who just wanted to do a good and decent job. I loved Holliday Grainger's determined, feisty Miriam. She and Pine provided a sweet romance to temper the action/disaster aspects of the film. The graphics were well done, I felt like I was caught in the storm too. The movie spent just the right amount of time with each of the 3 situations so the pacing didn't drag in the middle. Definitely go watch it.

I enjoyed it very much to me it was like watching titanic all over again lots of action my friend liked seeing afflack in the good role

I was pleasantly surprised. I really didn't think I was going to like it -- big surprise -- I loved it! I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see if they would be rescued, even my heart was racing. The 3D effects were excellent -- I tried to capture the stars/sparkles from the Disney castle and ducked my head to escape the water from the waves. The film itself is a nice feel good happy movie. We need to have more happiness in our lives these days. I would highly recommend this movie.

Well done sea rescue movie based on a true story set in the early 1950s.

Enjoyed this movie very much. Perfectly cast and well- acted. A touching tribute to the coast guard and the power of the ocean.

It was kind of scary, but exciting to watch.

Great movie. I really enjoyed it!

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.

I enjoyed the movie very much. It was a true testament to the heroism of the coast gaurds under impossible circumstances.

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!!!!

Both an interesting and exciting film that really got to the emotions of the audience. The filming was excellent providing a very realistic feeling of the virtual hopelessness of the crew's plight - both of the rescuers and of those to be rescued. I purposely did not read about the actual historical event until after seeing the movie because I wanted a blank slate and nothing to compare the movie to - I was not disappointed. It kept me on the edge of my seat with clenched fists and sweaty hands until the end - a must see!

I thought this movie was incredible! Great cast! Loved it!

Very action packed, edge of your seat! Loved Chris Pine's accent in this movie. Thank you so much for the tickets.

It was amazing, had me on the edge of my seat and the 3d makes it come alive so much more, frightening but exhilarating at the same time. What an amazing movie, great cast, great acting. Thank you so much. I will see it again as it moves so quickly you miss things, definitely a buy movie when it comes out. And since its based on a true story it makes it much more real.

I really enjoyed The Finest Hours. It was a story of true heroism in the face of impossible odds. The special effects were amazing and the cast was superb. I will recommend this movie to everyone.

Novel script based on a real life story set in the era when my parents met, went to dances and were engaged. Love the fella's gal and her name! The 3-D made the action of the waves on the stormy sea very real and scary to experience.

The Finest Hours was very suspenseful and a good telling of a courageous story. We enjoyed it very much. We were honoured to attend the showing with members of Canada's Coast Guard.

This was a great movie that held my interest from start to finish. A good mix of edge of your seat, intense scenes with romance thrown in for good mix.

The movie started out slow, but soon escalated in its intensity.

Finest Hour was an intense, engaging movie. Knowing that it was going to be a good outcome made it easier to watch. My profile should be changed to Anna Tsui, not Jamie Lee, that is name of my daughter

I enjoyed every bit of this movie!! Great movie, a must see!!

This was a great movie!! I would recommend everyone see it, Disney did a great job!!

I did not enjoy the movie at all. Quite surprising that is was as bad as it was. :(

I found the first 10-15 minutes a bit slow and needed more to get you interested. Once the main plot was introduced my mom and I were riveted. I was invested in the characters especially knowing that their fate wasn't just in the writer's mind but what really happened to these people. main female lead was forgettable but Chris Pine and others were great

I give it 5 Stars, it had all the action that I like, and it keeps you on the edge, not wanting to miss a thing, I think everyone will like this movie

It was Amazing !!! We became close to the characters and lived the experience with them - the scenes were beautifully shot and so intense - everyone left the movie drained of emotion - very well done !!!

The story captured and kept my attention. Honestly, the acting was less than great, but I still enjoyed the film.

I loved The Finest Hours because it was so uplifting and restores one's faith in people kind! Great acting, great cinematography, great direction! Two thumbs up.

This movie went over my expectations, the movie was very well made and had my heart racing through the whole move. For me I went in not knowing it was a disney movie, it was very impress and this is a movie I would for sure want to see again. I believe the casting was very well done, the characters did look like the actual people and Chris Pine did an incredible acting job.

Very good visuals. Story is ok.
