Such a frustrating disappointment
Boring
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
A usefully documentary to show the scoop of modern freight shipping, and the size of the industry. It does present a good eye opening of the ecological cost of shipping, as well as the pollution, but sometimes feels a bit doom and gloom toward the entire thing. The interviews and film of the shipping infrastructure make it worth seeing. In the end, it presents the negative side of shipping, which comes mostly from the longevity of ships and drive for cost saving; but, it could have done more to show the positive aspects of the shipping industry as well.
basic and educative documentary,with an objective look at how goods are being freighted around the globe,and a very subjective negativism,almost fatalistic view on the use of containerships,their owners, international governance and the ominous use of containers.the lack of presenting better alternatives is a drawback that makes it an 8.
