Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

arishsankar Really Tom Hanks did it again he's magnificent act did everything omg! Heart beats are totally hight, one of the best action thriller I've seen in my life, it's a pure masterpiece

paulclaassen Very realistic film based on a real-life drama. Excitement and suspense from beginning to end. The music is super effective and Tom Hanks is exceptionally good as Captain Phillips. One of the most effective movies I've seen in a while.

melyablackrose I am sure many will dislike me for rating this movie 1 star. I wish there is a minus; if there is, I would have given minus rating. I love Tom Hanks, I have enjoyed his movies for many years. The problem here is not the actors; they did a great job. The problem here is not the story line, I read the story line and I enjoy this kind of movie (especially when it's based on true story) but I have to say that a story is only as good as how it is shot when it comes to movie-making. I don't know how to make movies; I don't know how to handle a camera; but I don't think the person shooting this movie knows how to handle a camera, either. Movies are designed to be watched by human eyes; this movie is extremely shaky and my eyes can't seem to handle it. I stopped at minute 51 and I have no intention to continue watching this movie despite the fact that I love the story line. I don't have any intention of getting a vertigo after watching this or eye problem. People like us who do a day job sitting in front of a computer screen wish to have something enjoyable when we reach home to enjoy our evening watching a good movie. The way this movie was shot is worsening my eyes & head after long day staring at screen. I just wished the people in charge of the camera and effects did their job the way it is supposed to be. Thank you!

TechTube There are multiple scenes in this film that make you feel good and some that make you feel bad. The hostage scenes look real, and have great affects. The boats also make a great part to the movie. Captain Phillips is a great actor and perfect for the movie. Altogether, this is a very realistic and dramatic movie that I cannot fault. 10/10 Recommend!
