What critics say influenced The Finest Hours
Bringing this tale to life are exceptionally convincing visual effects and lush location shooting in Massachusetts courtesy of cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe (2015's " Goosebumps ").As snowswept as "The Finest Hours" can be at time, it is a curious observation that none of the characters act particularly cold, even as they are constantly wet while zooming through bone-chilling waters.
Like 2015’s Everest and In the Heart of the Sea , The Finest Hours offers a man vs. nature survival story; in this case, however, the storyline is more upbeat.
Much like Bridge Of Spies, you won’t leave the theater blown away, but as far as January releases go, Disney’s The Finest Hours is like a shining beacon in a hazy fog.
