Big Miracle Reviews
An average movie
Posted : 9 years, 4 months ago on 1 January 2015 10:33Honestly, I had no idea what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Drew Barrymore, I thought I might as well give it a try. Well, eventually, I didn't like it much. I mean, obviously, it was supposed to be some uplifting tale based on some actual events but it didnโt really work for me. The main issue for me was that there were just too many angles developed. Let me make a quick list: you have 2 different reporters, Greenpeace, an oil company, the national guard, the local Inuit tribe, some guys from Minnesota with some de-icing device, the Russians, a White House representative, Ronald Reagan who was the US president at the time, the people at home following the events through the news report and I might be missing someone. That was just way too much and there was even a half-baked love triangle. Some thought that it made the story stronger but I would disagree. It made it harder to really focus on what's actually going on and it gave the feeling that they didnโt believe that the story was strong enough so they threw all this people in the mix. To conclude, I thought it was rather weak and I don't think it is really worth a look.
