Hadn't even heard about it until you posted the trailer. One has to wonder how interesting a story can be with only 3 actors, a raft and an empty ocean.

Read the book "The Raft" it is based on back in High School back in the sixties.

I liked the movie a lot but it leaves out some of the most interesting bits of the book.

The movie does let you know what happened the the crew after the war. Which the book did not.

I was funny to see Crumadry (sp) the terminator as the pilot

I have seen it…it is a decent movie. TPWi15mm-you would be surprised, it actually moves along pretty well. If you have seen Unbroken the raft scenes, AtS is reminiscent of that. I would venture to say that AtS was made as a reaction to the success of Unbroken but that is pure conjecture, I am not even sure which movie was released first. Unbroken is a far superior movie in comparison. AtS has a "made for TV" feel about it. Despite that it is worth a watch on a slow afternoon, it is relatively entertaining despite its production values.

Thanks!
