In other words, those who work on the rig designed to extract oil from a vertical depth of 35,000 feet must take a helicopter to get there. The rest of the film unfolds with breakneck speed, hampered only by the amount of technical stuff going on and a combination of jargon and accented slang that can make deciphering dialogue somewhat difficult-especially given the background noise on a semi-submersible oil-drilling rig located some 250 miles from the Texas-Louisiana coastline.

True to its disaster movie roots, Deepwater Horizon gives only a brief introduction to the main characters-just a glimpse of their personal lives so we care whether they survive the calamity or not. Last year’s San Andreas may have sparked another revival of the genre, with filmmakers discovering that it provides a terrific opportunity beyond sci-fi superhero movies to flaunt new advances in CGI special effects.
The next bunch came in the late ‘90s-films like Twister, Titanic, Volcano, Firestorm, and Armageddon. I don’t know how true that is, but disaster movies certainly seem to come in clumps, starting in the 1970s, when Airport was followed by The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, Earthquake, Flood!, and Hurricane. Superstition has it that bad things come in threes.
Rated PG-13 for prolonged intense disaster sequences and related disturbing images and brief strong language
