Review of The Boat

The Boat (2018)
5/10
Ambitious But Falls A Bit Flat
24 February 2022
This isn't actually that bad of a film but it just lacks that something too give if a bit of a boost. It gets to a certain point and then just seems to fall and get a bit boring. It starts off OK and it keeps your interest up to a certain moment but it becomes repetitive and your interest starts to fade.

There are a few moments where the main (and only character) makes you scratch your head and ask "What are you doing?" Now I KNOW it's easy for people to say what they'd do when they're not in that situation, but some decisions just make you wonder. But desperate situations usually do make people not think clearly so can give benefit of the doubt.

There's no real closure to the movie either. My best guess is that it's open to interpretation on what happened to the main character. Paranormal, hallucinations, a kind of "worm hole" effect when going through the thick fog? Who knows so it's a wee bit frustrating in that respect that you don't know 100% exactly what happens, but I guess that can be part of the story that keeps you watching.

A decent wee time filler that is worth a watch.
