Went to see it last night and agree with most of the penn energy review.
It appeared pretty authentic, the set was good and the people and roles believable.
It showed up very well the real tensions and pressures that people like the OIM and the company reps are / were under and the issues between the client who is paying for it all and the service provider and the inevitable conflicts, compromises, judgments and issues relating to that. The big company people probably won't like it very much, but I guess it takes a lot of background information from the various reports in the public domain.
Not too much technical stuff about the cement or the "negative pressure test", but enough for a movie audience to understand, not that there were too many in the audience I was at and that only a few days after release.
Once the big bang goes off then it's a bit more standard disaster movie stuff. Difficult to work out where the bangs and shrapnel and flying metal are coming from. The unsung heroes are the guys in the rescue boat getting the life rafts and jumpers out of the water - I think they could have got a bit more air time. Don't know in reality whether a drill rig would normally have had a supply boat on station or not but clearly pretty good for the survivors that it was there.
Don't know if the scene with the derrick was "real" or whether someone / anyone actually tried to start the emergency generators, but it's overall probably a set of scenes best seen in a cinema rather than at home.
Still not sure how this will play to a "general" audience or will actually make any money for the producers. Probably filling out the cinemas in oil towns like Houston, Aberdeen etc, but everywhere else??
So I would say go see it before it rapidly disappears from your local cinema / theater - it's a lot lot better than many oil movies, though like BI I have seen Hell Fighters many times and you can't beat a good John Wayne movie.
Also reminds me why I never really fancied going offshore.....
