Adrift Review

Adrift was a great true story drama despite some questionable decisions.  This movie is a true story about a couple stuck on a boat who must survive one of the worst hurricanes in recorded history.  Shailene Woodley gives a fantastic performance. Sam Claflin also gives a great performance.  Woodley and Claflin had fantastic chemistry and I believed their relationship.  The script, while a bit standard, serves its purpose. Baltasar Komakur did a really good job directing especially the hurricane scenes.  The best thing about this movie is the cinematography by Robert Richardson.  This movie can be downright beautiful to look at. As for flaws, the editing in this movie feels choppy at times.  At 96 minutes the story moves along at a good pace.  Overall Adrift has some minor problems but is a fantastic watch about an incredible story.

8/10
