Deepwater Horizon

The names are big and the effects are great. Still, Deepwater Horizon felt too much like a made-for-TV movie with a destination of a Wal-Mart patriotic bin. It was rated highest on RT of all the movies currently in my theaters. So, I took a chance. I learned terms I never knew before tonight. Inlets, outlets, relief valves, and the like. I also learned there are oil tankers that remain somewhat stationary and pump loads of black oil from the ocean floor. This movie chronicles the events of the largest oil spill in US history but fails to present the gravity of that. This is true even after a 110,000 m dollar budget.
