adrift

Starring Shailene Woodley (Fault in Our Stars, Divergent films) and Sam Claflin (Me Before You, The Hunger Games films), ADRIFT is based on the inspiring true story of two sailors who set out to journey across the ocean from Tahiti to San Diego.

POSITIVES  
- based on an incredible true story
- premise is relatively straight forward, but the narrative itself keeps things interesting
- the survival story angle always keeps you engaged
- Shailene Woodley excels in the role of Tami Oldham

NEGATIVES 
- it may be a true story, but it unfortunately feels derivative the majority of the time
- especially the love story, which felt too forced at the beginning, although it's more believable during the second half. Just got to put up with it at first
- the movie overall should be more memorable than it actually is
- Shailene Woodley's very present nipples might be too distracting for the boys... or should this be in the "positives" category?
