    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!

    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.
