I like the fact that before the movie begins, the disclaimer states it is just "based" on a real story.
Based on a real story of a family and a young inexperienced mate (think Gilligan on a realistic scale) who lose their ship in the sea. The middle of the ocean, of course, and exist on two small rafts for a long time.
What makes this movie a "real" movie is the "real" people. They make mistakes, sure, but not the insane evil ones that Hollywood usually forces down our throats. They don't turn to cannibals on day three, and they don't play survival "games". They do real survival.
Do they all make it out? They certainly try, and they try to help each other out. There is a camaraderie that is long lost in Hollywood and in America's morality. We need more movies like this to bring that good spirit back.
