It's affecting stuff -- there are few things more moving than tough men getting emotional.

This is a workmanlike iteration somewhat ploddingly true to its genre, from the style of lighting used for the interviews, to the sweeping, keening strings-led soundtrack, to the almost shocking moments of humour and honesty.

Not unenjoyable, just not as enjoyable as it could've been.

there is no definitive answer whether Chris died. At the hour mark, the truth is revealed, and it is so elemental, simple and dramatic with none of the dramatics of the movie, which proves that you do not need big names or special effects

It’s pretty underwhelming despite the intensity of its story.

My first ever film review just because I found this to be such a wonderful and emotional film and it’s a true and truly amazing story.

The amount of research that went to make this film. Well written, and allows you to immerse yourself in the real (dangerous) world of specialist deep sea diving.

It’s easy to see why the creators chose to remake this story as a film. After all, the documentary itself have required too many staged sequences to tell the story clearly.

Never in doubt of the outcome but still a great portrayal of the bravery and drama of this story. The autistic guy who saved Chris was an oddball but did his job impressively. Watched on BBC iPlayer.

Know this was based on a true story really made it keep you interest. The details on how these special divers operate would send chills up anyone’s spine! Incredible story!
