Just a quick post in case you were thinking of seeing the above. All the reviews make out this is a brilliant film: it's NOT! You will be surprised and disappointed from a technical sailing/marine perspective, but also looking at the work as a piece of film making. The storm scenes are a bit of a joke in terms of their realism, and the stupidity of the the guy played by RR will mean you probably have little feeling for the guy at the end of the day. Sure it has the odd moments, but it is not the masterpiece portrayed by many critics. I'd say wait for TV or DVD! Have a happy and healthy New Year. Nick.
