Pure shite if your not currently Disney-age and lack all common sense.
The lead actress, why is she even in the movie?
No one really ever gets cold, that's truly fascinating!

Good. Nothing more than that, but nothing less either.

'The Finest Hours' is a little bit too on the nose in parts, I felt like some of the cast were overacting here and there - especially Casey Affleck (Ray), not that he is bad though. Chris Pine is enjoyable in the lead role. Pacing is iffy, but the effects are excellent - from the ships to the water scenes, impressive! The (true) story, meanwhile, is as hearty as you'd expect.

Worth watching.

As a true story movie it deserves 8/10; otherwise, I'd never give him more than 5/10

As mentioned in another comment, although the Chris Pine crew are supposedly sent to their death, there's no real tension as you know they're going to come back unscathed because it's a Disney movie featuring sailors that never swear. Some spectacular visuals of an angry open sea–the highlights of the movie as far as I'm concerned–but our heroes have nothing to fear aboard the sturdiest, most physics-defying lifeboat ever seen on live action film. Clearly the source material was not exciting enough and needed some embellishment... yet the movie still lacks spice. I would dunk on Casey Affleck's subpar acting but his lines didn't really deserve better.

The Finest Hours is a thrilling disaster film about one of the most daring rescue missions in American Coast Guard history. In 1952 two cargo ships were split in half by a deadly storm off the coast of New England, and while the crew of one of the ships struggled to keep afloat a rescue team fought against impossibly odds to get to them. Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, and Eric Bana lead the cast and give solid performances. And the special effects are incredibly good, creating some amazing scenes of the cargo ship’s destruction and the rescue ship’s fight to climb the ocean waves. But the writing is rather weak, and doesn’t really develop the characters very well. Still, The Finest Hours is a fascinating story about the strength of the human spirit to persevere and overcome adversity.

As a fact based documentary movie 8/10, as a catastrophic movie 6/10. Acting was a little rigid.

Old fashioned movie benefits from excellent special effects. Its a stirring true story well told.

If you substract the annoying love side story (btw - she actually is a good actress, just go see the Borgias. The role is just blatantly unimportant. Close to an insult, really) that does nothing but lengthen an otherwise probably not long enough story on its own, take out some of the unrealistic aspects (some were named in other comments - one being a girl sitting in nothing but a dress in a 50-era car in icy winds and snow), what's left is a visually stunning movie with some great performances - notably all the scenes on the Pendleton. Casey Affleck puts down one hell of a performance. Chris Pine is not bad at all, but nothing out of the ordinary.

To put it short: leave the remote in your hand, skip the scenes with the girl, and you've got a pretty decent movie.

Entertaining enough movie, based on real life, of a coast guard officer who rescues the whole surviving crew of an oil tanker using only a small boat in the middle of a large sea storm. What impressed me most about it was that I saw no jumping around by the cameramen while filming. In contrast to other nameless director who cannot hire steady cameramen, the director of this film includes very little (if any) shaky cam effects, despite bringing a turbulent sea to the screen. Yet, cinematography awards go to the nameless director who makes me throw up every time I try to watch his films. Obviously the critics have forgotten what good cinematography looks like.
