The story of this movie is well-crafted, and that must be acknowledged. It's based on an interesting event that occurred, but the film's style simply didn't resonate with me. The whole thing is shot as a pseudo-documentary, which means we're watching actors playing castaways, which is fine, but then there's this narrator constantly talking, which I just found irritating.
