Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The Couchpotatoes Don't except a lot to see except a lifeboat, water and three guys trying to survive. But to me that was enough because you live the whole movie like it was you that was trapped on the Pacific Ocean. The problems they have to get drinking water and food make you realize in what kind of hell they had to live during so long alone on the ocean. And when you know it's based on a true story then it makes it always a bit more special when you watch a movie like this one. I thought the actors did a good job. The conversations they had during all that time seems all plausible to me. What else would you do if you were surrounded by water without any land in sight? My wife and I certainly did enjoy this movie.

dnolan714 This is a true story of three men that stuck together and survived 1,000 + miles at sea in a small raft. After realizing that they couldn't locate their carrier, fuel running out and then ditching in the Pacific they survived. This is a small movie with good actors showing the spirit of the young lads in WWII . Overall this is a well made movie with little special effects or anything of that nature. The actors portrayed their characters very excellent and you could feel their desperation and then guts while pulling together. It's a true depiction of how certain people rise above fear and did not give up. Knowing this was a true story made it even more enjoyable.

kneubeck I was fortunate enough to see a screening of this film before its theatrical release. As a student of history and a lover of films, I would highly recommend this film to both history and film buffs. All three of the main characters give well rounded performances, but I was equally impressed with the Cinematography and Musical Score. In my opinion, there are not enough Independent, low budget films like "Against the Sun", let alone historically accurate ones. Its unfortunate that films like this don't get the larger theatrical release that they so richly deserve. It is my understanding that the film's main audience will come as a result of it's digital release so hopefully it will get the recognition it deserves.

thenobleteamhalo This movie was similar to life of pi or castaway in the fact it takes place in pretty much one location, but it is a very good true life story of some world war 2 men and their struggle for survival. I thought it was entertaining and interesting like band of brothers or other true life war stories. Character development was great as you got to know the background and stories of the 3 men involved. I would watch it again and recommend it to others. I have been impressed with the other movies from this film company and appreciate their storytelling. I also recommend the conspirator and parkland and look forward to a movie about John brown the abolitionist
