The 33 (2015)

So much average

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Best movie ever!

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Based on the real-life event, when a gold and copper mine collapses, it traps 33 miners underground for 69 days. The 33 is an excellent tale about 33 miners who just wanted to survive but also about the people who wanted to get them out. The perfomances from the entire cast are quite strong especially from Antonio Banderas, sure it has it's flaws as a whole but it's one of Banderas best films in recent memory and one that will definitely keep viewers hooked. (9/10)

The film is based on a true story that I believe most of us know the outcome. The first 10 minutes of the film show us the miners as a community, with gold mining the best gig in town. We get to meet a half dozen or so personalities before the ominous music plays and the film is divided into a surface and subsurface subplots. Antonio Banderas plays "Super Mario" the appointed leader who kept the group together and from killing each other, at least in the film version. Lou Diamond Phillips finally lands himself a respectable role as a safety engineer whose role is defined as making sure they get 250 tons of ore out a day.The film goes through the emotional high and lows as despair sets in Camp Hope, a tent community of the families outside of the fence. The film portrays the mining company as bad and the government as heroes whose hand is forced by public opinion. The film was made in English although there are newscasts and songs in Spanish.The film is over 2 hours long as we experience all the failed attempts at rescue. The end of the film shows us the actual miners, and to be honest, none of them looked like Antonio Banderas. The film is a drama. Don't expect an action flick.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

The 33 movie review The film "The 33" is about the 33 miners that got trapped in a Chilean mine and how two men never stopped believing that they could be rescued. It's crazy to think that those miners were trapped in that mine for sixty nine days. Yes, sixty nine days. Its incredible true story. Its also a pretty good film as well. The director of this movie is Patricia Riggen. The budget for this movie was $26 million and the box office ended up being almost $25 million. It was released on November 9th, 2015. Its DVD release was February 16th, 2016. Patricia Riggen flew out to meet the actual miners before this movie was filmed and just spent a lot of time with them hearing all their stories. They shot this film in two real mines both located in Columbia. She convinced the actual miners to come at the end of the movie to have a big dinner on the beach and to show the audience what the real miners looked like and that they actually all survived. This movie is actually pretty historically correct. Not a lot wrong with it at all. I think the director did a solid job of touching up on most of the topics regarding the Chilean mine incident. It didn't seem to biased by any means. Regardless of if their is any biased thoughts in this film or not, it doesn't affect how Patricia Riggen tells the story. The characters bare based on real people so i'm just going to say that yes they are believable. Dialogue and other things surrounding the film seem realistic and nothing really seems off. The only real thing I don't like is that they call this a action drama biography. I don't really see how its considered action to be honest. Like when I think of action I think of stuff exploding and crazy fights and stuff like that. Overall, i enjoyed this film which i didn't think I was going to. I would give it 6 stars out of ten.

Looking for any good movies to watch? Well, you are in luck! The movie, The 33, directed by Patricia Riggen, is based on a historical event. The movie is based in Chile and thirtythree miners were trapped in a gold mine for sixtynine days. The movie is overall a good film and shows history through an effective way.The filmmaking process of this movie began in December 2013 in Columbia. To make sure, Riggen got all the history correct, she interviewed each of the miners and their families. The filming was wrapped up on February 20, 2014. The major actors were Antonio Banderas who played "Super" Mario Sepúlveda, Rodrigo Santoro who played Laurence Golborne, Juliette Binoche played the strong female role, Gabriel Byrne's role was the engineer who rescued all thirtythree miners, and Chile's president was Sebastian Pinera. Patricia Riggen created many films such as Lemonade Mouth (2011), Perfect Target (1997), and Under the Same Moon (2007). The movie budget was 26 million USD. This film was filmed in Columbia, Copiapo, Chile, and Tierra Amarilla, Chile. The director, Patricia Riggen, says that she directed this movie because she wanted to challenge herself. She also said that she wanted to discover what the movie was really about. The reasons for this film are explicitly stated. It was a very easy film to follow and it kept the viewer's attention. This movie was created for the thirty three miners that survived the collapse of the mine; the movie made the survivors feel appreciated and loved.One of the movie's historical error was when the drill bar first came through, they spray painted it red and taped a letter to it. The history states that they wrote a note with red letters saying that everyone was alive. There were only small historical errors in the film. The director omits the important topics. Some of those important topics were the first time the drill came through, the plan to rescue the miners, and the execution of the rescue. The film did not seem biased. Overall, this movie was great! The actors were good and there was a lot of information given from watching. The characters are believable, everything looks real. The dialogue is appropriate for the time period, they had ipods, facetiming abilities, etc. Even though the film was realistic, there was a few scenes it seemed unrealistic. For example, when the drill came through for the first time there was light coming through. I would definitely recommend seeing this historical film.
